Malware removed, access restored, blacklist warnings cleared
Not sure if this is really a hack? These are the most common warning signs
Google Chrome or another browser blocks visitors with a red warning screen before they can even load your site.
Visitors (or you) get redirected to spam, ad, or pharmacy sites instead of your actual pages.
A new administrator account appears in your Users list that nobody on your team created.
The site becomes very slow, shows a white screen, or goes down entirely with no clear cause.
Google Search Console shows a sudden ranking or traffic crash, sometimes with a manual action notice.
Your hosting provider emails you about malware, spam email abuse, or suspends the account entirely.
Seeing any of these? Message me on WhatsApp — a quick check to confirm the infection is free.
Every infected file, injected script, and hidden backdoor found and removed — not just the visible symptom.
I identify exactly how the hackers got in — outdated plugin, weak password, or compromised hosting — so it can be closed for good.
Review requests submitted to Google Safe Browsing and other blacklist authorities to lift "deceptive site" warnings.
All admin passwords, database credentials, and secret keys rotated so old access points stop working immediately.
WordPress core, theme, and plugin files replaced with clean copies to remove any tampered code.
Firewall rules, login protection, and file-permission fixes applied so the same vulnerability can't be used twice.
Send me the site URL (and host access if possible) — I confirm the infection and scope within hours.
A full backup is taken before touching anything, so nothing is ever lost during cleanup.
Malware, backdoors, and injected code removed; core files, themes, and plugins replaced with clean versions.
Passwords and keys rotated, firewall and login protection added, the original entry point closed.
Review requests submitted to Google and other authorities so browser warnings disappear.
One-time service — priced by infection scope, not a recurring plan
Single-site infection — malware removal, core file reset, password rotation.
Everything in Standard, plus blacklist removal and post-cleanup hardening.
Stores or multi-infection sites — deeper cleanup, database checks, payment security review.
💬 Not sure how bad it is? Send me the URL — a quick check to confirm the infection and scope is free.
Once your site is clean, consider ongoing security hardening so it doesn't happen again.

Common questions about hacked WordPress site cleanup
Common signs include a "Deceptive site ahead" warning, unexpected redirects to spam sites, strange new admin users, a site that stops loading, or your host suspending the account for malware. If unsure, send me the URL and I'll check it.
Most cleanups finish within 24-48 hours of getting access. Straightforward cases are often resolved same-day.
Yes. After malware is fully removed, I submit review requests to Google Safe Browsing and other blacklist authorities so the warning is lifted.
Most infections trace back to outdated plugins/themes with known vulnerabilities, weak admin passwords, or a compromised hosting account. Cleanup includes finding that entry point.
No cleanup can guarantee zero future risk, but closing the entry point, updating everything, and rotating credentials dramatically lowers the chance of reinfection. Ongoing monitoring is available as an add-on.
Straightforward cleanups start from $350. Complex cases (WooCommerce stores, blacklist removal, repeat infections) are quoted after a quick free diagnostic.
Yes, emergency response is available for active hacks, especially WooCommerce stores losing sales. Message me on WhatsApp for the fastest response.
