Malware cleanup

The cheap cleanup gets done twice. Ours comes with a recheck instead.

Malware removal has a dirty secret: deleting the visible infection is easy, and reinfection two weeks later is the industry's repeat business. Done right means the backdoor hunt, the entry-point fix, and proof — which is exactly what the flat $579 buys.

Flat quote in writing before any work starts.

Why infections come back — and how this one won't.

Modern WordPress malware ships in two parts: the payload you notice (spam pages, redirects, phishing kits) and the backdoors you don't — innocuous-looking files and database entries whose whole job is surviving the obvious cleanup. Delete the payload, miss the backdoor, and the attacker's automation re-infects on schedule. That loop is why 'cleaned twice' is the most common malware story we hear.

Our cleanup treats the backdoor hunt as the job: core files verified against known-good checksums, plugins and themes reinstalled from source, the database swept for injected admin users and eval'd payloads, and file timestamps read to reconstruct the entry. Then the door itself gets fixed — the vulnerable plugin, stale install, or breached password that let this happen.

The Google side: getting unflagged.

An infection's second act is reputational: 'This site may be hacked' in your search results, red browser interstitials, and sometimes partial deindexing of the spam pages under your domain. Cleanup includes the review submissions — Search Console security review, blocklist requests — and they clear reliably when the site is genuinely clean, which is the point of being thorough first.

If rankings took damage from injected spam pages, that recovery is the SEO-recovery discipline, and you'll get an honest read on whether you need it or whether the flags clearing is enough.

What the flat price covers — in writing.

$579, one WordPress or PHP site: infection removal across files and database, core/plugin/theme integrity restore, backdoor hunt, admin lockdown, entry-point fix, Google and blocklist review submissions, and a 30-day recheck to verify it stayed clean. You also get the plain-English incident note: what got in, how, what we changed, and what would keep it out. No subscriptions, no fear-based upsell — the recheck exists so you don't have to take our word for 'done.'

The cleanup, itemized.

Every step exists because skipping it is how the cheap version fails.

Full infection sweep

Files AND database — payloads, injected pages, rogue admins, eval'd code.

Backdoor hunt

The survival mechanisms found and removed — the difference between cleaned and cleaned twice.

Integrity restore

Core verified against checksums; plugins and themes reinstalled from source, not trusted.

Entry-point fix

The vulnerable plugin, stale version, or breached credential — the actual door, closed.

Google & blocklist review

Search Console security review and blocklist submissions, filed once the site is provably clean.

30-day recheck

We come back and verify it stayed clean. Proof, not promises.

Malware Cleanup — buy it now, skip the hunt.

Hacked site cleaned, secured, and submitted for blacklist review — done right, done once.

Covers one WordPress or PHP site: infection removal, core and plugin integrity restore, admin lockdown, and Google review submission. Includes a 30-day recheck.

Questions we hear a lot.

How fast can cleanup start?

Same business day — active infections jump the bench queue because every hour is reputation damage. Containment (password rotation, admin lockdown) starts immediately; the full sweep follows right behind.

Will I lose content or orders?

No — cleanup removes what the attacker added and restores what they modified, from backups and known-good sources. Your content is the thing being rescued, not a casualty. The rare judgment calls (a compromised upload, say) get made with you, not for you.

My host offered to 'reset' the site. Should I?

A host reset typically wipes to a blank install — infection gone, business gone with it. It's the right move for an abandoned site and the wrong one for a live business. Cleanup preserves the site; resets replace it. Ask us before accepting that offer.

How do I know it won't come back?

Three ways: the entry point is fixed (not just the payload removed), the incident note tells you exactly what changed, and the 30-day recheck verifies it held. If it somehow didn't, the recheck catches it inside the engagement — not two weeks after a 'trust me.'

Is this the same as the $579 'Malware Cleanup' on the pricing page?

Same service, same flat price, buyable online — this page is the full description of what that price buys. If your situation is bigger (multiple sites, active data breach), you'll get a written scope before anything is charged.

Done right. Done once. Rechecked.

Describe what you're seeing — spam pages, warnings, redirects. Containment starts same-day, and the flat price is the whole price.
