How exactly do we remove malware?
Scan of all website, backend files
Our experts scan all website files for known signs of malware, viruses, and infections using specialized tools that detect malicious code through heuristic and signature analysis.
We look for suspicious file names such as 1gkj2saf.php, 862349.php, or Ads8DU2.php, and also carefully check standard files like index.php, wp-settings.php, and wp-config.php. We review hidden files as well, since files with unusual extensions such as .otc, .ott, or suspicious .css files are almost always malicious — for example, .gk23sa.css, .1942t53.ott, or .2634gkgre.otc.”
Scan Frontend for Infections and Security Issues
In this step we are looking for HTTP redirects, links for third-party sites, open directories (like .git, .svn and etc), HTTP response codes, JavaScript Files & iFrames Calls.
Scan for Known Vulnerabilities
We review all installed plugins and the active theme for known vulnerabilities. If any issues are detected, they are updated to the latest stable versions.
Database and CRON check
We review WordPress database tables, including plugin and theme tables, for suspicious code. Some malware adds malicious code to system cron jobs, allowing the site to be re-infected over time, so we always check cron tasks.
Security Audit
In this final step, we analyze all available site logs, including web server logs and Security by CleanTalk plugin logs, verify file permissions, and investigate unusual outgoing email activity.
As a final note, just as computers rely on antivirus software, websites also need specialized protection. Our experts use advanced signature-based detection to identify viruses, trojans, backdoors, adware, and ransomware, scanning everything from core files to the database to keep your site secure.

 | Why specialist-driven malware removal service is better for a WordPress websiteAutomated solutions can be enough to find most known viruses and malware and often are low cost or free. The problem is that they often over-insure and accept your files as bad ones, causing large file and data losses during automatic site cures. A specialist can always distinguish your files from malicious ones even if it's a custom code. Another thing is that every day there are new viruses and malware that are still unknown to automated solutions and only a human can detect and get rid of them. |

I have questions....
Is it possible to remove malware from backup files?
We clean malware on a staging (backup) site, but the site must be running on your hosting. Therefore, we do not clean malware directly in backup files or within our own environment.
Is it free or paid?
We provide a free Online Malware & Security Scanner for frontend checks. For backend scanning, the Security plugin for WordPress and UniForce are good options, as both offer a free trial period. Malware removal performed by our expert team is a paid service.
What if Google in search or Google Chrome flagged my site as dangerous?
First, clean the website of viruses and malware, then report here to request unflagging of the site.
How do I change my website database (DB) password?
It depends on the hosting company you use to host your site, so we recommend contacting your hosting provider’s support team. However, if you are using WordPress, you can try the following steps:”
-
Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc.).
-
Open MySQL Databases (or Database Management).
-
Find your database user and change/reset the password.
-
Open your website files via File Manager or FTP.
-
Edit the file wp-config.php.
-
Update this line with the new password:
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'new_password_here');
Save the file and test your website.
Do you restore and clean hacked websites?
Yes, we do. Most incidents we handle occur because a website uses a plugin, theme, or application with a known CVE vulnerability. In other cases, hacking happens due to weak administrator passwords, allowing attackers to upload malicious PHP files. In any case, recovery is possible even after a successful hack.
