An infected WordPress site can be cleaned up using such plugins as WordFence or Anti-Malware Security.

To avoid similar issues in the future, we would recommend updating, backing up your WordPress site as often as possible and avoiding themes/plug-ins from unknown or 3rd party providers, as well as keeping only the most up-to-date plugins on your site only.
