WordPress malware removal.

Symptoms

If any of these are true, your site is compromised.

• Browser warning

  Chrome, Firefox, or Safari shows a red interstitial: 'Deceptive site ahead' or 'The site ahead contains malware.'

• Google search

  Search Console emails a 'security issues' warning, or your listing shows 'This site may be hacked'.

• Redirects

  Visitors arriving from Google land on a spam or scam page instead of your site. You see the real site when you visit directly.

• Strange content

  Search results for your domain include pages or terms you never published (pharma, Japanese characters, casino, loans).

• Host suspension

  Your hosting provider suspended the account 'for security reasons' and is asking you to provide a clean version.

• New users

  An admin user appears in WP that you didn't create. Or a user whose name you recognise but whose email you don't.

If none of these match but something feels off, open an engagement anyway — triage is free.

What gets done

Every cleanup includes:

• Malware

  Backdoors, web shells (c99, WSO, FilesMan, custom loaders), and obfuscated PHP — removed by reading file diffs, not pattern-matching.

• DB audit

  Injected admin users, suspect cron jobs, orphaned options with autoloaded payloads — reviewed one by one.

• Client-side

  JS skimmers, cryptojackers, and conditional redirects — including the ones that fire only for Google referrers.

• Entry vector

  I identify how they got in. Vulnerable plugin, leaked credential, server-level issue — whichever one it is, I tell you in plain English.

• Hardening

  wp-config lockdown, file permission audit, secret rotation, login surface reduction. Closes the door I just walked through.

• Delist

  Reconsideration requests submitted to Google Safe Browsing, Sucuri, McAfee, Norton, Yandex.

• Report

  Plain-English forensic report. Hand it to a client, an insurer, or keep it on file.

Why manual

Scanners catch signatures. I catch the rest.

Automated scanners are pattern matchers. They detect known malicious filenames and known string patterns. They miss obfuscated PHP loaders, database-resident injections, and credential-theft backdoors that wait. They also delete and re-quarantine in a loop without ever closing the entry point.

Every engagement is touched by a human who reads diffs, audits the database, and verifies the site is clean before shipping the report.
