How BugShield removes WordPress malware
Malware removal is more than deleting suspicious files. We scan the database, core files, themes, and plugins, remove backdoors, reset compromised passwords, and harden weak points so reinfection is less likely.
Malware cleanup is £99.99 with BugShield, confirmed before work starts. Shield Pro adds daily malware scans and prevention if you want ongoing protection after the cleanup.

What WordPress malware removal involves
Malware on WordPress is rarely a single bad file. Infections spread through theme files, plugin directories, uploads, wp-config.php, and database tables. Proper WordPress malware removal finds every instance and the vulnerability that allowed access.
Deleting obvious suspicious files without closing the entry point means reinfection within days.
- PHP backdoors hidden in uploads or theme directories
- Database injections adding spam links or redirects
- Compromised admin accounts and unknown FTP users
- Malicious cron jobs and outbound spam scripts
- SEO spam and pharma keyword injections
Malware removal vs hacked site cleanup
The terms overlap, but malware removal focuses on eradicating malicious code and backdoors. Cleanup also includes hardening, password resets, and requesting Google review if your site was blacklisted.
BugShield handles both as part of a security fix, with a BugShield developer rather than an automated tool that may miss hidden threats.

FAQ
WordPress malware removal FAQs
How much does WordPress malware removal cost?
BugShield charges £99.99 for malware and spam redirect cleanup, including verification. Complex multi-site infections may cost more, but you always see the quote first.
Will malware removal delete my content?
We remove malicious code, not your posts or products. Legitimate content stays unless it was injected with spam, in which case we clean it surgically.
Do you offer ongoing malware protection?
Yes. Shield Pro at £199/month includes malware removal, daily malware scans, and a larger backup storage allowance on top of Shield Light.
How do I know if my WordPress site has malware?
Signs include Google warnings, spam redirects, unknown admin users, suspicious files in your hosting directory, unexpected outbound emails, or your host suspending the account.
Is automated malware scanning enough?
Scanners catch many threats but miss database injections, encrypted backdoors, and server-level compromises. Thorough removal needs human review, not just a plugin scan.
Will malware removal break my site?
Careful cleanup removes malicious code while preserving legitimate themes, plugins, and content. We verify core functionality after removal.
How do I stop my WordPress site getting reinfected?
Close the entry point: update vulnerable plugins, strengthen passwords, harden file permissions, and consider Shield Pro with daily malware scans.
