Free Website Malware Scanner - Check for Viruses & Security Issues

Q: What is a website malware scanner?

A website malware scanner is a security tool that analyzes your website for malicious code, viruses, and security vulnerabilities. It helps detect threats that could harm your visitors or damage your reputation.

Q: What types of malware can this scanner detect?

We scan the public HTML of your site for known PHP backdoor patterns, web shells, obfuscated JavaScript, crypto-miner scripts, and common exposed files such as .env or database backups. It does not scan every file on your server.

Q: How does blacklist checking work?

We check your URL against Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and VirusTotal (70+ antivirus engines in one scan — not separate Norton/Sucuri calls). Unavailable means we could not reach that API right now. WordPress sites also get outdated-plugin checks and CVE data when WPScan is configured.

Q: Why is it important to check for outdated software?

Outdated software and plugins often contain security vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Our scanner identifies outdated components and recommends updates to maintain security.

Q: How often should I scan my website for malware?

We recommend scanning your website at least weekly, or immediately after making changes, installing new plugins, or if you suspect any security issues. Regular scanning helps catch threats early.

Q: What should I do if malware is detected?

If malware is detected, immediately isolate the infected files, remove the malicious code, update all software, change passwords, and consider professional malware removal services if needed.

Q: Is this scanner safe to use on my website?

Yes, our scanner is completely safe. It only reads and analyzes your website content without making any changes or modifications to your files or database.

Q: What does the security check include?

We check whether your site uses HTTPS, whether security headers are present, and common cookie settings. This is a basic configuration review, not a full penetration test.

Q: Can this tool scan password-protected areas?

No. Only pages and files reachable without a login are tested. Use your hosting control panel or Imunify/Maldet for full-server scans.

How it works

What this scanner checks

This is a free, read-only check of your website's public pages. We look for signs of compromise attackers often leave behind: PHP backdoors, web shells, exposed .env or database backups, and risky external scripts.

We also check blacklist reputation, detect WordPress and server software from the page, and review HTTPS and security headers.

Results are cached for 24 hours. Use Full scan for everything, or Quick scan for malware and reputation only.
