WordPress Malware Removal Service

How do I know if my WordPress site is hacked?

Common signs include unexpected redirects to spam or gambling sites, Japanese or pharma keywords appearing in Google results, fake Cloudflare or CAPTCHA pages shown to visitors, a 'Deceptive site ahead' Google warning, hosting suspension emails, sudden traffic drops, or admin users you don't recognize. If any of these appear, your WordPress site is almost certainly infected.

How long does WordPress malware removal take?

Most standard WordPress malware cleanups are completed within 4 to 24 hours. Complex infections involving deep database injections, multi-site networks, or e-commerce stores with thousands of products can take 24 to 72 hours. Every cleanup I do is manual — no automated tools that miss backdoors.

How much does it cost to remove malware from a WordPress site?

My WordPress malware removal service starts at $89 for a standard hacked-site cleanup. Fake CAPTCHA malware removal starts at $89, Japanese SEO spam removal starts at $149, blacklist vendor recovery is $15 per vendor, and WordPress critical error fixes start at $50. All prices are fixed — no hidden fees.

Can a hacked WordPress site be fully recovered?

Yes. In 4,500+ cleanups, I have never lost a site. A full recovery includes removing every malware file, cleaning the database, removing hidden admin users, fixing .htaccess, requesting Google blacklist review, removing spam URLs from search results, and hardening the site so it cannot be re-infected through the same vector.

Why does WordPress malware keep coming back after cleanup?

Reinfection happens when the original entry point isn't closed. Common causes are hidden backdoors in fake plugins (like wp-compat or hseo), self-regenerating cron jobs, compromised admin passwords still in use, vulnerable plugins/themes left unpatched, or backdoors hidden inside image files (GIF/JPG). A proper cleanup must close all of these, not just delete the visible malware.

Do you guarantee WordPress malware removal?

Yes. Every cleanup includes a reinfection check and a 30-day guarantee. If malware returns from the same vector within 30 days, I clean it again at no charge.

Can security plugins like Wordfence or Sucuri remove malware on their own?

Free plugins can detect many infections but they rarely remove sophisticated malware completely. Obfuscated PHP, database injections, .htaccess malware, and hidden backdoors typically require manual file-by-file forensic cleanup. Plugins are good for monitoring after a manual cleanup, not as a replacement for one.

Will you help remove my site from Google blacklist or McAfee?

Yes. After cleanup I submit review requests to Google Safe Browsing, McAfee SiteAdvisor, Norton Safe Web, Avast, Quttera, and other blacklist vendors. Vendor review fees and recovery help are included in the blacklist removal service.
