WordPress Malware Removal & Security Service

I assess suspected or confirmed WordPress infections, clean affected files or database entries where possible, investigate likely entry points, and help restore the site safely. The exact recovery path depends on available access, backups, and the extent of the compromise.

The problem

Removing the visible symptom may leave the compromise behind

Malicious files, database injections, unauthorised users, scheduled tasks, and stolen credentials can persist after a basic scan. A careful recovery needs evidence, containment, cleanup, and follow-up hardening.

What I review on a WordPress site

  • WordPress core, plugin, and theme file integrity
  • Suspicious database content and administrator accounts
  • Scheduled tasks, redirects, and unexpected changes
  • Available logs, backups, and likely entry points
  • Hosting and account access that may be affected
  • Search or browser warnings connected to the incident

What you receive

  • Incident findings and affected areas
  • Cleanup of identified malicious changes where possible
  • Credential and access recommendations
  • Practical hardening actions
  • Post-cleanup checks and monitoring guidance
  • Clear note of any unresolved hosting or third-party risk

Process

A clear process from review to handover

  1. 01

    Contain

    Protect available evidence, limit further damage, and establish safe access to the site.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    Review files, data, users, logs, and behaviour to identify malicious changes and likely entry points.

  3. 03

    Clean

    Remove identified malware and unauthorised access, then restore trusted components where possible.

  4. 04

    Harden

    Test the recovered site, improve practical controls, and define sensible follow-up monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers before we talk

If your situation is not covered, send the details and I will confirm whether I can help.

Not always. Recovery depends on access, backups, hosting conditions, and the extent of the damage. I explain the safest available options after the initial assessment.
