Malicious redirects
Visitors are sent to suspicious, phishing or unrelated websites without your consent.
Take back control of a compromised website.
Malicious redirects, injected code and suspicious logins need more than deleting one file. Get identified malware removed and related access weaknesses addressed on WordPress, Joomla and other CMS sites.
Signs your website may be compromised
Injected files or code
Unknown PHP or JavaScript files, obfuscated code or unexpected changes appear in the installation.
Unknown administrator accounts
Unexpected administrator or user accounts appear in the CMS or hosting environment.
SEO spam and injected pages
Search results show spam pages or links that you did not create.
Hosting malware warnings
Your hosting provider reports malicious files, disables the website or suspends the account.
Recurring infection
Malicious content returns after cleanup because persistence or access remains.
A visible infection may not be the whole problem.
A suspicious file or redirect can signal a remaining backdoor or compromised access. Cleanup includes checks for persistence as well as visible malware.
WordPress, Joomla and other CMS files and extensions
Themes, plugins, modules and writable directories
Database entries and injected scripts
Unexpected CMS users and hosting access
Backdoors, scheduled tasks and persistence
Available hosting and application logs
What the cleanup covers
Malicious files and injected code
Remove or repair identified malicious files, scripts, redirects and compromised content where appropriate.
Backdoors and persistence
Investigate hidden access methods and suspicious scheduled activity that could allow the infection to return.
Database inspection
Review affected settings, content and records for unwanted scripts or unauthorized changes.
Compromised accounts
Inspect unexpected administrators and other access changes associated with the incident.
CMS components
Check relevant WordPress, Joomla or other application components for tampering and related vulnerabilities.
Reducing reinfection risk
