 * Hello all,
 * Thank-you for your feedback and assistance thus far.
 * My next question is; one of my files says “This WordPress core file has been 
   modified and differs from the original file distributed with this version of 
   WordPress.” I am given the option to “bulk repair” or “Restore the original version
   of this file.” Will this restore prior to the hackers coding?

 * Thank-you very much for your help!
 * Do you know what “\x65\x76\x61\x6C\x28” is and how I can remove it so my files
   don’t appear to be malicious?
 * Here’s an example (please not file is very long, hence the ellipsis):
    <?php
 * echo ‘walex’;
    preg_replace(“\x2F\x2E\x2A\x2F\x65”,”\x65\x76\x61\x6C\x28\x67\
