Thanks for the links. I have seen most of them and some of the techniques they describe are beyond me. What I did: remove WP from the server and reinstall. Cleaned out the database and restored from a backup. Change all passwords. Noticed that there was a script in .htaccess so removed it. Still got problems e.g. if you do a Google search on photohsop tutorial for beginners my site is listed:
Free Adobe Photoshop Tutorials For Beginners — Discount -133 …
organicgarden.org.uk/square-foot-gardening/plant-spacings – Cached
Software store discount with -122% price off for Free Adobe Photoshop Tutorials For Beginners. Our prices: Windows 7 ultimate ($129.90), Microsoft Office …
But clicking on the link takes the searcher to one of my pages. There are many other examples!
How do I stop this? Do I remove my site from Google?
I did use http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ and it said everything was OK so am still confused.

If you cannot carry out the work yourself, then you may have to consider hiring someone.

I would if I had the cash but am retired and live on small income. The site costs enough as it is so will probably just dump it.
If you’re site is clean, it will take awhile before Google will re-crawl your site.
If you have a Google Webmaster Tools account they should be able to help you:

Thanks, it does look as if things are improving as the Google instant preview which did come back clean.
Glad to hear things are improving. After getting back to normal I’d suggest checking out some increased security practices for your install:
