 * Did anyone ever figure out how to clean this mess up? I’ve got the same thing.
   There’s a file called wp-manager.php. It was placed in the contents directory.
   From what I can tell it was a fairly advanced hacking tool designed to go through
   your entire site and identify index files etc. There was also a javascript cache
   file and another file. I deleted all of these and still I have a cache subdirectory
   which keeps filling with spam and spam appears on a hidden layer on all my posts
   and pages. The problem went away briefly when I updated to 2.8 but now is back
   same as ever.
 * Google has threatened to delist me. What can I do?
