    I have just recently registered our site with Google webmaster tools. After running the security scan it found two pages that may have URL injections. the problem is that these two pages, according to the FTP files do not exist. How can I find and delete these files.

    WordPress “pages” are not actual files on the server, they are a type of post that merely appears like pages to Google. What are the URLs of the pages in question? The URLs will either contain the page slug or page ID.

    You can then open the pages for editing to see if anything unauthorized was added. If you do not see anything, the URLs were injected by hacking your template files.

    Any kind of unauthorized access to either DB or file content is a serious problem. Even if you remove the injection code, there is likely a backdoor hidden somewhere where the hacker can gain access and reapply all of his hacks. See FAQ My site was hacked for appropriate responses.
