Not for website scanner a great tool for finding malware attack, but certain scanners are able to clean the malware as well. Follow these steps and remove malware from your website:

Change your WordPress admin password.
Change your FTP password
Check your .htaccess file/s for any malicious content and set the file permission (chmod) to read only

All the WordPress Core files : If you can download Wordpress form wordpress.org and check the files and download match. You won’t actually need these files, but you may want them for your investigation into the hack later.

The wp-config.php file: Name, and password to your WordPress information which we will use in the restore process.

.htaccess file: It’s invisible, Visible only on backup folder using an FTP program or code editing application.

The wp-content folder. Do you have see this themes, uploads, and plugins then that’s a good sign you have a good backup of your site.

The database: you have SQL file that is an export of your database and it’s good to have a backup.

It is possible that your files are still infected. Follow the below steps to ensure that your website is clean and free from malware:-

Download all the files/folders
Scan all your website files using antivirus - Comodo or Avast
After scanning using both antivirus software and removing malware files, upload all the files on the server. Ensure your hosting was deleted and re-created before uploading clean files

Once you upload clean files and if still Google shows that your site may be dangerous, then create new XML Sitemap and submit again manually to Google

If your website already affected by malware than take down your website and create a ‘Website under maintenance’ web page.

  • Change all passwords and WordPress security keys.
  • Take a backup of your website and all essential files.
  • Backup your WordPress database
  • Google webmasters tool is a useful tool to identify malware issue.
  • Check all folders for malicious files on your web server.
  • Check all files to find any malicious coding or script
  • Check all your plugins
  • Find backdoors and remove them
  • I also recommend changing your web hosting provider
  • Scan your website to find infected files
  • Scan your computer regularly
  • Use website vulnerability scanning tools
  • Use web inspector to find malware or vulnerability
  • Use an SSL Certificate

This step-by-step guide can be used by practically anyone to remove malware from WordPress. However, you must be willing to get your hands a little dirty and be comfortable with FTP and File Manager. If this is not your cup of tea, you may wish to look at our malware removal service instead.
