WordPress Malware Removal

Malware on your WordPress website? We remove all infections and backdoors, and secure your website against reinfection.

Malware on your WordPress website is more than an inconvenience — it threatens your visitors, your reputation and your Google rankings. Infected websites spread spam, steal data or redirect visitors to malicious sites, often without the owner noticing for weeks. Professional WordPress malware removal by WP Maintainer eliminates the infection completely and, crucially, closes the door behind it.

The biggest mistake in malware removal is incompleteness. Deleting the visible infected file is not enough: modern WordPress malware installs backdoors in multiple locations, creates hidden administrator accounts and schedules malicious tasks that reinstall the infection days later. That is why DIY cleanups and automated scanners so often "fail" — the website is reinfected within a week.

Our removal process is forensic. We scan every file and every database table, compare your WordPress core, plugins and themes against clean originals, hunt for backdoors and hidden accounts, and analyse server logs to find the entry point. Only when we know how the attackers got in do we start cleaning — because cleaning without closing the entry point is pointless.

After the cleanup we secure your website: passwords reset, users audited, software updated, firewall installed, file permissions hardened. You receive a complete report of what was found and fixed. And with a maintenance plan, your website stays protected permanently — with our recovery guarantee if anything ever slips through.

Frequently Asked Questions

6 questions about wordpress malware removal

What are the signs of malware on my website?+
Strange redirects, unknown pages or links, Google warnings, sudden slowness, spam emails from your domain, unknown admin users, or your hosting provider suspending your account. Some malware shows no visible signs — that is why scanning matters.
What does malware removal cost?+
Between €250 and €750 depending on the severity, always quoted as a fixed price after our initial scan. For maintenance customers, malware removal is included in the plan.
How long does malware removal take?+
Most websites are completely cleaned within 24 hours. Severe infections can take up to 48 hours. Emergency service is available 24/7.
Will my website get reinfected?+
Not if the entry point is found and closed — which is exactly what distinguishes our approach. We identify how the malware got in and eliminate that vulnerability, then harden your security.
Do I lose my content?+
No. We clean infected files and database entries surgically. Your pages, posts, images and orders are preserved.
Can you remove the Google "deceptive site" warning?+
Yes. After the cleanup we submit a review request via Google Search Console. Warnings are typically lifted within a few days.
