Malware is the ugly side of web security that can lead to numerous problems for your web presence. The thing is, unless you’re using good malware scanning tools and looking in all the right places, it’s hard to confirm whether or not malware is present. Malware could lie dormant on your website or it could be up and charging full speed ahead. Unlike the physical world where it’s usually easy to tell when something is not right or doesn’t belong, website malware can be alive and well and you’d never know it. A malware scan is what you need to ensure your website security.
WebsiteDefender performs the following to help protect your website against malware:
- Scans files for infections
- Detects malicious links published on your website
- Searches for web server backdoors, shell scripts and rootkits
- Checks for malware or spam-related blacklistings with Google and various spam indexes
WebsiteDefender runs malware scans for your website. New malware is created every day. So if your web security provider scans for a limited set of malware – or doesn’t run any malware scan at all – your website is at risk.
A web malware scan provides a great way to ensure your system is “clean”. In the same spirit that healthcare professionals perform tests on us when we’re sick to find out the underlying cause(s), scanning your website for malware can alert you to issues you might not have known about otherwise. Furthermore, it can provide the very information needed in order to rid your system of the infection.
