Cleaning an hacked WordPress from a malware that shows “Checking your browser before accessing pastebin.com”

If you get this error opening your WordPress site:

 Checking your browser before accessing pastebin.com.
 This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.
 Please allow up to 5 seconds…
 DDoS protection by CloudFlare

it means that your site was hacked.

Solution: go to wp-includes/ and search the general-template.php file. Open it and check if it’s similar to this one. If it’s so you need to overwrite it with the original one you (should!) have in local.
