Scan your site for malware and unauthorized code injections

Scanning your site for malware and unauthorized code injections directly checks whether your site has actually been compromised, malicious code silently injected into your files or database that may not be visually obvious to a normal visitor or even to you.

A compromised site can look completely normal to visitors while quietly serving malware to a subset of them, running affiliate fraud, or being used to send spam, a direct scan is the only reliable way to confirm your site is genuinely clean.

How to do it

1. 1
   Run a reputable malware scanning tool

   Several dedicated security scanners check for known malware signatures and suspicious code patterns.
2. 2
   Review any flagged files closely

   Confirm whether a flag is a genuine compromise or a false positive from legitimate but unusual code.
3. 3
   Remove any confirmed malicious code

   Clean the actual infection, and investigate how it got in to close that specific entry point too.
4. 4
   Re-scan periodically

   A single clean scan does not guarantee future safety, this is worth repeating on a real schedule.
