Malware Scanning

Malware scanning examines website files, software, or related activity for signs of malicious code and known suspicious patterns. A compromised site may display unwanted redirects, inject spam, or attempt to collect visitor information. Scanning tools can flag potential problems, but a clean scan does not prove that a site is free of every threat. Results may include false alarms or miss unfamiliar attacks. A useful response involves confirming findings, containing the problem, identifying how access occurred, and restoring trustworthy files where needed. Scanning complements secure logins, software updates, backups, and monitoring; it does not replace those controls or provide a guarantee against future attacks.
