Named WordPress malware we remove
The specific infections we clean every week, with realistic fix windows so you can plan around the downtime.
- 302 redirect / pharma redirect
Visitors are sent to counterfeit pharmacy or affiliate landing pages, usually only for search-referrer traffic. We trace the redirect injection through .htaccess, functions.php, mu-plugins, and the wp_options table, then rebuild the entry point.
Typical fix: 3 to 5 hours
- Japanese SEO hack
Google shows thousands of Japanese-keyword pages under your domain. Attackers plant a doorway script that generates spam pages on the fly. We remove the generator, purge cached spam, and file a reconsideration request.
Typical fix: 4 to 8 hours
- Hidden admin user + backdoor
A rogue admin account or an encoded PHP shell reinstalls the infection every time you clean it. We audit every user, every scheduled cron, and every writable directory to close the reinfection loop.
Typical fix: 2 to 4 hours
- mu plugin injection
Malware loaded from /wp-content/mu-plugins/ runs before any security plugin can catch it. We identify and remove the loader, then harden mu-plugins with correct permissions.
Typical fix: 1 to 3 hours
- Credit card skimmer (Magecart style)
A checkout script exfiltrates card details to an attacker-controlled endpoint. We isolate the injected script, restore a clean checkout, and produce a PCI-friendly incident report.
Typical fix: 3 to 6 hours
- SEO spam link injection
Hidden outbound links to gambling, replica goods, or essay mills damage your rankings quietly. We strip the injected links, restore clean templates, and monitor recrawl.
Typical fix: 2 to 4 hours
How WordPress malware removal works
The same 4-step process for every infection, from a single site 302 redirect to a WooCommerce card skimmer.
- 1
Triage in 15 minutes
Share access. A senior engineer reads the symptoms, checks the top three infection vectors, and gives you a written scope before any paid work starts.
- 2
Contain in 90 minutes
We take a forensic snapshot, isolate the site, rotate secrets, and stop the bleed so no further customers see the infection or the Google warning.
- 3
Rebuild by hour 4
We manually scrub every infected file, database row, and cron job. Then we reinstall core, plugins, and themes from clean sources, protecting your legitimate content and search visibility.
- 4
Reconsideration + monitoring
We help submit the Google Search Console reconsideration request, monitor Safe Browsing, and watch for reinfection for 30 days. Any reinfection inside that window is cleaned free.
WordPress malware removal pricing
Flat fees, no hourly meter. Malcure charges $99 for a 24 hour scanner-led cleanup. Wordfence Response is $490. We sit in the middle with real engineer time and a guarantee that survives reconsideration.

WordPress malware removal FAQ
How much does WordPress malware removal cost?+
Flat $249 for a standard WordPress malware removal, done by a senior engineer, with a written malware free or refund guarantee. Complex reinfections, multisite networks, and WooCommerce stores are quoted after a free 15 minute triage. No hourly meters, no surprise fees.
How fast can you remove WordPress malware?+
Median clean time is 4 hours from the moment we have access. A senior engineer picks up in about 11 minutes, 24/7, triages in the first 15 minutes, contains the infection by the 90 minute mark, and finishes the rebuild inside 4 hours in most single site cases.
Is manual WordPress malware removal actually better than a scanner plugin?+
Yes. Scanners such as Wordfence, MalCare, and Sucuri catch known signatures and miss disguised backdoors, mu plugin loaders, cron reinfection, and hidden admin users. We read every infected file, database table, and scheduled task by hand, then close the exact entry point the attacker used.
Will you remove the Google deceptive site warning or blacklist?+
Yes. After WordPress malware removal is complete, we help you submit the reconsideration request in Google Search Console, monitor Safe Browsing status, and confirm the warning is cleared. Included in the flat price.
What if my WordPress site gets reinfected?+
Every malware removal ships with a 30 day reinfection guarantee (60 days on the hardening tier). If the same infection returns inside the window, we clean it again at no cost and investigate what we missed the first time.
Can you remove malware if the host suspended my site?+
Yes. We work at the file and database level even when the front end is offline, produce the clean-site evidence your host needs, and coordinate the reactivation. This is a common scenario, not an edge case.
Do I lose content or SEO during WordPress malware cleanup?+
No. We preserve legitimate pages, redirects, and structured data. In most cases rankings recover within days once the malware is gone and Google recrawls clean pages.
Who is doing the WordPress malware removal?+
A senior engineer with a fleet management background of 150+ internal sites at Pearl Lemon. Not an offshore first line, not a scanner, not a screener. You get one accountable engineer from triage to reconsideration.

Website malware removal service pricing is a mess online. $50 scans that do nothing, $2,000 'enterprise' cleans that are the same script. Here is how our WordPress malware removal works and what the best WordPress malware removal service actually does.

Best WordPress malware removal, an honest comparison
The three names you see on Reddit for WordPress malware removal, Sucuri (thorough, slow, expensive), Wordfence (fast, template driven, upsell heavy), and us. We are faster than Sucuri, cheaper than Wordfence's premium clean, and we publish the exact process on this page. Pick based on speed vs brand.
Why WordPress site keeps getting hacked after a clean
Reinfection is not a mystery, it is one of four causes. The backdoor was missed. The vulnerability that let them in was never patched. A stale plugin was left active. Or the same weak admin password was reused. Our clean addresses all four before we hand the site back, which is why our reinfection rate last 12 months is under 2 percent.
Common questions
How much does a website malware removal service cost?
Flat $249 for a standard WordPress site, $499 for WooCommerce or membership sites. Every price includes forensic report, backdoor sweep, entry point patch, Google reconsideration, and 30 day reinfection guarantee. If a malware removal service will not quote flat, they are billing you for uncertainty.
What is the best WordPress malware removal service?
Depends what you value. Fastest and cheapest with a written report, us. Biggest brand and 24/7 phone bank, Sucuri. Bundled with a firewall subscription, Wordfence Care. Our reinfection rate last year was under 2 percent, published on the uptime page.
How long does WordPress malware removal take?
Standard clean, 4 hours from ticket to handed back. Complex multi site or WooCommerce with active orders, up to 24 hours. If your host has already suspended the site, add 2 to 6 hours for host coordination. Published median last quarter, 3 hours 42 minutes.
Can I remove WordPress malware myself with a plugin?
You can remove the visible payload with Wordfence or MalCare. You almost certainly cannot find every backdoor, patch the entry point, and submit the Google reconsideration correctly. About 70 percent of self cleaned sites we see are reinfected within 30 days.
Do you guarantee no reinfection after WordPress malware removal?
30 day reinfection guarantee, in writing. If malware returns inside 30 days, we clean it free and refund the original clean. We can offer that because we patch the entry vector, not just the payload.
