Cleanup aims to preserve existing website content and functionality. There is no permanent reinfection warranty — cleanup reduces risk; it does not make a site permanently unhackable.
Process
How the work usually proceeds
Investigate
Review symptoms, logs where available, and the install for indicators of compromise.
Identify
Map malicious files, injected code, and suspicious database content.
Remove
Clean identified malware and backdoors carefully to preserve legitimate content.
Harden
Apply practical hardening appropriate to the site and access model.
Handoff
Provide findings, changes made, and what to watch next.
FAQ
The intent is to remove malicious code while preserving legitimate content. Risky removals are discussed first when material.
No. There is no permanent reinfection warranty. Ongoing updates, access hygiene, and hosting posture still matter.
Sometimes a partial or full rebuild is safer. That recommendation is based on investigation — not assumed up front.
