The standard advice is to update Wordpress core and all the plugins...
which may help if the updates won't break your site due to incompatibility
of heavily customized themes or plugins.

The non-free Wordfence plugin, from Wordfence.com, is mentioned frequently
in the Wordpress and Librarians group (Facebook). There is no charge for
the basic plugin. A key for premium services--remote scanning of the site
for malware-- costs up to $5/month.
