WordPress security cleanup
WordPress malware removal with the entry point fixed
I clean infected WordPress websites, databases and hosting accounts, remove redirects, spam pages and backdoors, then identify how the infection entered. A typical single-site cleanup starts at EUR 190. Diagnostics and the estimate come first.
Direct answer
How much does WordPress malware removal cost?
For one ordinary WordPress website, emergency malware cleanup starts at EUR 190 and usually takes several hours. A full cleanup with updates, credential rotation and hardening starts at EUR 320. I confirm the fixed price after a free diagnosis, before changing the website.
| Service | Best for | Typical time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency cleanup | Redirects, injected pages, malicious files or an urgent hosting block. | From a few hours | from EUR 190 |
| Google warning removal | Deceptive-site warning, hacked-result label or spam pages in Google. | Usually 24-48h after cleanup | from EUR 240 |
| Full recovery and protection | Cleanup, root-cause repair, updates, new credentials, hardening and report. | 1-5 days | from EUR 320 |
Signs that your WordPress site needs a malware cleanup
An infection is not always a visible red screen. WordPress malware often behaves differently for the owner, Googlebot and first-time visitors.
Spam pages in Google
Japanese keywords, Viagra pages or unknown titles appear in search even though the WordPress dashboard looks normal.
Hosting suspension
The provider reports malicious PHP, outgoing spam, phishing or excessive CPU usage and takes the account offline.
Unknown administrators
New admin users, plugins, scheduled tasks or modified theme files appear without an authorised change.
Malware keeps returning
A scanner deletes files, but the infection comes back because a backdoor, cron task or vulnerable plugin remains.
Browser or Google warning
Chrome, Search Console or an antivirus marks the domain as dangerous, deceptive or compromised.
What the WordPress malware removal service includes
Deleting one suspicious file is not a cleanup. I inspect the complete execution path and verify the result from both the server and the public website.
Files and database scan
I review WordPress core, plugins, themes, uploads, configuration, database content and scheduled tasks for injected code.
Backdoor and persistence removal
Web shells, rogue admins, hidden PHP, cron persistence and malicious database records are removed without deleting legitimate content.
Clean WordPress core
Compromised core files are replaced from official packages. Required plugins and themes are checked against trusted copies.
Entry-point repair
I identify the vulnerable plugin, leaked credential, unsafe upload path or neighbouring infected site that allowed the compromise.
Security hardening
Credentials are rotated, risky accounts removed, updates applied and PHP execution restricted where it is not needed.
Verification and report
I test pages, admin and forms, run a second scan and provide a concise report of what was found, removed and changed.
How the cleanup works
Free diagnosis
Send the URL and any warning from Google or the host. I confirm symptoms, scope, price and access needed.
Backup and evidence
I preserve the current files, database and useful logs before removing anything, so there is a rollback point.
Cleanup and root cause
I remove malicious code across files and the database, then close the route used to infect the site.
Re-scan and handover
I verify the public site and admin area, help request Google or hosting review if needed, and send the report.
Why scanner-only cleanup often fails
Security plugins are useful detectors, but a list of changed files is not the same as an incident investigation. If the original vulnerability, stolen password or infected neighbouring site remains, WordPress can be compromised again minutes after a clean scan.
Database payloads
Redirects and spam can live in posts, options, widgets or serialized plugin data that file scanners do not repair safely.
Shared hosting reinfection
Another infected website under the same account can write malware back into a cleaned WordPress installation.
Compromised access
Old FTP, hosting, database and administrator credentials let an attacker return even after all malicious files are gone.

Frequently asked questions
Can you clean WordPress without a clean backup?
Yes. A clean backup is helpful but not required. I compare the installation with official WordPress, plugin and theme packages, inspect the database and preserve the current state before repairs.
Will the site keep its design and content?
Yes. The goal is to remove malicious code without deleting legitimate pages, products, orders or theme customisation. If an infected component must be replaced, I explain the impact first.
Can you remove the Google dangerous-site warning?
Yes. After the website is clean and the entry point is closed, I prepare and submit the appropriate review request in Google Search Console. Google controls the review time.
What access is required?
Usually hosting or SSH/FTP access, the WordPress administrator and database access. Temporary credentials are recommended and should be changed again after the work.
Do you clean WooCommerce stores?
Yes. Orders, customer data, checkout and payment integrations are handled carefully, with a backup and post-cleanup functional checks.
Do you guarantee that malware will not return?
If the same infection returns through the same entry point within 90 days, I clean it again free. No service can guarantee against a new vulnerability or newly stolen credential.
