Every engagement starts with a short call, then a written plan and a price before any work begins.

What does the Malware Scanner check for?
What's the difference between this and my hosting provider's security?
How does the scan actually run, does it need site access or credentials?
What should I do if it finds something?

A number agreed up front, a report you can read, and no surprises

What we watch once the work is live

The work is only done when the numbers move. We agree the measure before anything starts, then report against it every month. If malware scanner is not producing the number we agreed, that is our problem to solve, not yours to chase.

Why it helps

Built for verifiable day to day use

Checks for real threat types

Scans for malware, injected code, and backdoors, not just a surface virus check.

Finds vulnerabilities before they're exploited

Flags security gaps proactively instead of after an incident.

Know before Google does

Catching issues early avoids the SEO and trust damage of a flagged site.

How it works

The scanner crawls your site's files and database for known malware signatures, unexpected code injections, and backdoor scripts that attackers commonly leave behind after a compromise. It flags anything suspicious with the targeted file or code location involved, rather than a vague warning, so you know exactly what to investigate. Running it on a recurring basis catches problems before a search engine flags your site as unsafe and before visitors ever see a warning page.

Questions our clients ask us

Questions about Malware Scanner

What does the Malware Scanner check for?

It scans your website for malware, injected code, backdoors, and security vulnerabilities, so you can confirm your site is clean before Google or a visitor finds a problem first.

What's the difference between this and my hosting provider's security?

Hosting level security typically covers server infrastructure. This scans your actual site files, database, and code for injected malware and backdoors that infrastructure level protection often misses.

How does the scan actually run, does it need site access or credentials?

The scanner needs access to your site's files and content to check them directly, which is how it's able to flag injected code and backdoors rather than just monitoring from the outside.

What should I do if it finds something?

It shows you the specific file or code location flagged, which is the starting point for removal. For an active infection, treat the finding as urgent and address it before your next scheduled scan.

How is this different from checking the site manually for odd behavior?

Manual checks rely on noticing symptoms, which many infections and backdoors are built specifically to avoid showing. The scanner checks files and code directly rather than waiting for visible signs of a problem.

Does it scan the database as well as site files?

Yes, both site files and the database are within the scope of what the scanner checks for injected code and other security vulnerabilities.

Can it detect backdoors that don't show obvious symptoms yet?

Yes, that's a core reason to run the scan proactively rather than waiting for visible symptoms, since many backdoors are built to stay hidden until used.

How long does a scan take?

Scan time depends on your site's size, since every file and database entry within scope needs to be checked.

Does it fix the issues it finds, or only report them?

It identifies and locates the issue; removal is a separate step you or your developer handles based on what the scan reports.

How often should I run a scan?

Running scans on a regular schedule, rather than only after noticing a problem, is what catches infections before they cause visible damage or get your site flagged by search engines.

Will scanning affect my site's uptime or performance?

The scan checks your site's files and content rather than altering them, so it isn't expected to affect uptime or visitor-facing performance.

Is there a cost per scan, or ongoing monitoring?

Check your account or plan details for the specific terms covering single scans versus ongoing monitoring.

Does it check whether Google has already blacklisted my site?

The scanner is focused on finding the underlying malware, injected code, and vulnerabilities on your site; checking blacklist status with Google separately is a related but distinct step worth doing alongside a scan.

What data does the scanner access, and is that handled securely?

The scanner accesses your site files, database, and code to check them for security issues. Review the platform's data handling terms for specifics on how that access and any findings are secured.

What support is available if I need help removing a confirmed infection?

Support can point you toward the flagged file or code location and next steps for removal, though for an active, confirmed infection, working with a developer experienced in malware remediation is advisable alongside the scan results.
