My cleanup process
How I clean and secure your website
I don't just delete the obvious files and call it done. A proper cleanup means finding every infected file, every backdoor, and every vulnerability — and fixing them all so it can't happen again.
- Full malware scan — every file and database table checked
- Remove all malicious code, injected scripts, and backdoors
- Restore original files from clean backup where possible
- Google blacklist removal request (Search Console)
- Hosting suspension appeal support
- WordPress admin password and secret key reset
- Remove unknown admin accounts hackers created
- Security hardening to prevent re-infection
- Security plugin setup (Wordfence or equivalent)
- Post-cleanup monitoring for 7 days
