WordPress Malware Removal
Your site is infected.
Every hour makes it worse.
Malware doesn't sit still. It spreads, it spams, and it gets your site blacklisted while you're deciding what to do. The scan is free — start there.
I find every trace of the infection — the visible damage and the hidden backdoors — remove it completely, and harden the site so it doesn't happen again. All of that is one flat price.
Included in every removal
The complete cleanup
- Free malware scan first
- Deep clean of files & database
- Backdoors & rogue admins removed
- Google & blacklist review requests
- Core files & plugins updated
- Full re-hardening: new login URL, 2FA, bot detection
- Written report of everything found
No obligation. The scan is free either way.
What's happening while the malware sits there
An infected site is a site being dismantled in slow motion.
Most owners find out they're infected from a customer, a browser warning, or a traffic graph falling off a cliff. By then, several of these are usually already underway:
Malware runs its own workload on your server — sending spam, mining, attacking other sites — and your visitors pay for it in load times
Google flags the site with "This site may be hacked" or removes it from results entirely. Rankings you built over years evaporate in days
Chrome, Firefox, and Safari throw a full-screen red warning in front of your site. Almost nobody clicks past it — traffic effectively drops to zero
Spam sent from your compromised server gets your domain blacklisted — suddenly invoices and replies go straight to customers' junk folders
Injected redirects and drive-by downloads target the very people who trusted your site — customers, patients, donors
Hosting providers suspend infected accounts to protect their networks. Now the site isn't just compromised — it's completely offline
How removal works
Every trace. Not just the visible ones.
-
Free malware scan
I scan the site and tell you exactly what's infected, how bad it is, and what it will take to fix. No cost, no obligation.
-
Quarantine & backup
Before touching anything, I preserve the current state — so nothing is lost and there's always a way back mid-cleanup.
-
Deep clean
Core files, plugins, themes, the database, cron jobs, and upload folders — infections hide in all of them. I also hunt the backdoors and rogue admin accounts that let attackers return after a surface-level "cleanup."
-
Hardening — included
The same full security upgrade I sell separately: core and plugin updates, changed login URL, 2FA, bot detection, permissions, and keys. Removal without hardening is just an invitation to do this again.
-
Blacklist recovery
I submit reviews to Google Safe Browsing and the major blacklists, and confirm your site comes back clean — in search, in browsers, and in inboxes.
Straightforward pricing
One flat price. Hardening included.

- Full-site infection scan
- Plain-English findings report
- Honest severity assessment
- Fixed quote — no surprises
Everything it takes to get clean, delisted, and protected.
- Deep clean: files, database, cron, uploads
- Backdoors & rogue admins removed
- Google & blacklist review requests
- The complete $55 hardening package
- Written report of everything found
When an infection has been left long enough to poison the backups too, a site can be unsalvageable — nothing clean left to restore. That's the strongest argument for acting the day you suspect something, and for hardening for $55 before it ever gets here.
