Unfortunately, you need to follow all the recommendations or you might just re-infect yourself. I would have to know what the malware was in order to advise you any differently. Once you are exploited most of the good malware starts to load your system up with additional malware.
If you know when you were affected. Backup your current site (just in case) and rollback to a previous backup. Make sure you follow the recommendations first.
