WordPress malware is malicious code planted on your site to redirect visitors, send spam, steal data or hijack your server. These are the most common signs.
Visitors are sent to spam, casino or adult pages, often only from Google or on mobile.
Messages such as “This site may be hacked” or a red deceptive-site warning.
Pages you never created appear for pharma, gambling or foreign-language keywords.
Accounts you do not recognize, or changes you did not make.
Your host disables the site or sends a malware notice.
The site is slow, shows ads you did not add, or sends emails you did not write.
A clean site is not enough if the hole that let the attacker in stays open. Every cleanup covers both.
A full backup is taken first, and the site is put in a safe state so the damage cannot spread.
Files, the database, users and scheduled tasks are checked for malicious code and backdoors.
Malicious code is removed, modified core files are replaced with clean ones and the database is cleaned.
The outdated plugin, weak login or compromised account that allowed the attack is found and fixed.
Google and blocklist warnings are reviewed, and spam pages are removed from search results.
Attackers scan for known holes in old versions, so unpatched software is the most common way in.
Free copies of paid themes and plugins often contain hidden backdoors.
Stolen or guessed logins give attackers direct access to your dashboard.
Shared servers with poor isolation let an infected neighbor reach your site.
Cleaning a hacked site once solves today’s problem. Keeping it updated, backed up and monitored keeps it from coming back.
My WordPress maintenance plans include tested updates, backups and security monitoring. See also the Maintenance and Support page.
I send a quote after a quick look at the site.
Common signs are redirects to unfamiliar sites, a Google warning about a deceptive or hacked site, spam pages you did not create, unknown admin users, or a host suspending your account. A scan and a file check confirm it.
No. I take a full backup before touching anything, so your content, products and settings are preserved while the malware is removed.
Yes. After the cleanup, I request a review through Google Search Console so the warning can be lifted. The timing is up to Google. If rankings dropped, see technical SEO.
It can if the original hole stays open. That is why I find how the attacker got in, fix it and harden the site, then recommend ongoing updates and monitoring through WordPress maintenance.
Yes. I clean the site and provide what the host needs to lift the suspension. Policies differ between hosts, so I work with the process of yours.
Admin or hosting access, the date you first noticed the problem, and anything unusual you have seen. If you have a recent clean backup, send that too.
It depends on how deep the infection is, the size of the site and whether there is damage to fix afterwards. I send a quote after a quick look at the site.
