 * I found an odd hack on a wordpress site I took over to manage.
 * Within the wp_content/plugins directory, there are 18 new files with garbage 
   names and .txt extentions, all of 15885 bytes and an include.php file:
 * pvzeebzhof.txt is one of these files.
 * I have not found any information so far on this. maybe someone is interested 
   in investigating?

 * If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are a couple.

 * Congratulations! I have the same problem. Cleaned all infected files. But Google
   Ads does not allow the site because the site is hacked. Did you solve this problem?

 * well, that is something different and I do not use any ads, so I had not to deal
   with that. But you may use Google Webmaster Tools to find out the reason (site
   identified as being hacked or site identified as malicious). Then you may [request a review of the security issues in the Google Search Console](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/45449?hl=en&ref_topic=3425513).
