Malware on Site

  • Hi, I had received notice from my hosting company (Host Gator) that my site had malware on it… I have went in to the public_html files and removed all the files of the virus… but I need to know where else I need to look, and what are the best places to get free scans… My site has been blacklisted from many search engines… Can you also tell me maybe what I can do about that? Thanks… ??

    Sucuri is a good site to check for problems:

    Interesting it showed lots of problems in the cached test it had for your site, but when I did a rescan of your live website it seemed to find no/less issues – so it is possible that you may have successfully cleaned up the problem – though it is extremely hard to be sure of this. Once a website is hacked, they can install backdoors, or can re-hack you again using the same method potentially…

    Make sure WordPress and all plugins are up to date, and change all your hosting/FTP/WordPress passwords. Make sure your themes are up to date, and any bundled plugins inside the theme are safe/up to date.

    Other good news, is that the only site that is showing you as blacklisted when I check with Sucuri is McAfee – it could be a lot worse, eg Google!

    I often find problems are either in functions.php (in theme files), header.php, footer.php, .htaccess, javascript files…
