From first scan to a clean site
SiteLock scans your site from the outside and from within the file system, flags what does not belong, and removes known malware automatically so an infection does not sit unnoticed for weeks.
Baseline scan
The first scan maps your files, pages and database and records what a healthy state looks like. That baseline is what later scans compare against, so injected code and modified core files stand out.
Daily malware scanning
Scheduled scans check for known malware signatures, injected redirects, defacement and suspicious file changes. Because it runs daily, the window between compromise and detection is measured in hours rather than months.
Automatic removal
Recognised threats are cleaned automatically and you are notified of what was found and removed. Anything ambiguous is flagged for review rather than deleted, so a false positive cannot break a working site.
Blacklist monitoring
Your domain is checked against search engine and security blacklists. Being listed removes you from search results and triggers browser warnings, so early notice is what limits the damage to traffic.
Website security questions we are asked most
How malware gets in, what a scanner can and cannot do, how a WAF differs from scanning, and what to do if your site is already blacklisted.
How does malware get onto a website in the first place?
Rarely by someone targeting you personally. The common routes are an outdated plugin or theme with a known vulnerability, a weak or reused admin password, and a compromised computer where the FTP credentials were stored. Automated bots scan the entire internet for these, which is why small sites with no visitors still get infected.
Outdated plugins, weak passwords and stolen FTP credentials — usually automated, not targeted.
How is a web application firewall different from malware scanning?
Scanning is detection after the fact: it finds what already reached your files. A WAF sits in front of the site and filters malicious requests — SQL injection attempts, bad bots, exploit probes — before they arrive. They solve different halves of the problem, which is why the higher tiers pair them rather than treating the WAF as an upgrade to scanning.
A WAF blocks attacks on the way in; scanning finds what already got through.
My site is blacklisted by Google — what now?
Clean first, then request review. Removing the malware without submitting a reconsideration request leaves the warning in place; submitting before the site is clean gets it rejected and can slow the next attempt. Once approved, the interstitial warning clears, though the traffic recovery lags behind by days.
Clean the infection first, then submit for review — order matters.
My host already runs Imunify360 — do I need this too?
They overlap but sit at different layers. Imunify360 runs at the server level and protects the whole machine, which is included on our Standard and Ultimate shared plans. SiteLock works at the site level, monitors your domain's reputation on blacklists, and reports specifically on your application. If you host elsewhere, or want site-level reporting and blacklist monitoring, it adds cover the server layer does not.
Server-level and site-level protection overlap; blacklist monitoring is the clear gap.
Can a scanner repair a site that is already broken?
It removes malicious code, which often restores normal behaviour. What it cannot do is rebuild files an attacker deleted or a database an attacker dropped. That is the job of a backup — which is why scanning and backup are complementary purchases rather than alternatives, and why we recommend having both before you need either.
Scanning removes malware; only a backup restores what was deleted.
Does this work on WordPress, WooCommerce and other platforms?
Yes. Scanning operates on files and the database rather than a specific application, so WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop and custom PHP applications are all covered. WordPress simply draws the most attention from attackers because of its share of the web and its plugin ecosystem.
Platform-agnostic — WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento and custom PHP.
