Hacked Website Repair and Malware Removal
If your site is hacked, redirecting visitors, serving spam, or flagged by Google, this is a one-time emergency cleanup to fix it. We scan the whole site, remove the malware and any hidden backdoors, clear blocklist warnings, and patch the vulnerability so the same hole cannot be used again.

What it is
What does hacked website repair involve?
Hacked website repair is a one-time cleanup that removes an active infection and gets your site working and trusted again. It covers a full scan of files, plugins, themes, and the database; removal of malware, injected scripts, spam, and hidden backdoors; a request to clear browser and Google Search Console warnings; and a patch for the vulnerability that let the attacker in.
It matters because a hacked site does real damage while it sits there: visitors see warnings or get redirected, search rankings drop, and email or ads can get suspended. Speed matters, but so does thoroughness, because a cleanup that misses one backdoor invites reinfection within days. This is reactive work; once you are clean, ongoing security monitoring is what keeps you that way.
What's included
What a cleanup includes
Full infection scanA complete scan of files, plugins, themes, and the database to map every infected area.

Backdoor removalFinding and closing hidden backdoors and rogue admin accounts left for re-entry.
Blocklist removalSubmitting reviews to clear Google Safe Browsing and browser warnings once you are clean.
Vulnerability patchingFixing the outdated plugin, weak password, or flaw that allowed the compromise.
Core and plugin updatesUpdating core, plugins, and themes to remove known exploited versions.
Cleanup reportA summary of what was infected, what was removed, and how to avoid a repeat.
How we work
How we clean a hacked site
1Triage and access
We confirm the symptoms, get secure access, and take a snapshot before touching anything.
2Scan and identify
We scan every file and the database to locate malware, scripts, and backdoors.
3Clean and remove
We remove the malicious code and rogue accounts while keeping your real content intact.
4Patch the cause
We fix the vulnerability and update the components that let the attack succeed.
5Clear warnings
We submit blocklist and Search Console reviews to lift browser and search warnings.
6Harden and hand off
We apply baseline hardening and tell you how to stay clean going forward.
Why it matters
What you get back
A clean cleanup gets you back online, out of the warnings, and protected against the same attack returning.
Back online
Your site loads normally again, with the malware, redirects, and spam removed.
Off the blocklists
Browser and search-engine warnings are cleared so visitors and customers return.
Closed the hole
The vulnerability is patched, so the same entry point cannot be reused.
Who this is best for
The right fit
Best fit when
Your site is already compromised: showing spam or redirects, flagged by Google, sending junk email, or behaving strangely, and you need it cleaned and restored now.
You might not need this
If your site is clean and you want to keep it that way, you need prevention, not a cleanup. Set up Website Security and Monitoring instead. Sites on fully hosted platforms rarely face code-level malware, so check your platform first.
FAQs
Common questions about hacked site repair
How long does it take to clean a hacked website?
Many infections are cleaned within a few hours, though heavily compromised or large sites can take longer. We prioritize getting the site safe and back online first, then complete the hardening. We confirm a realistic timeframe for your specific case once we have scanned it.
Will I lose my content or have to rebuild the site?
No. Cleanup removes malicious code while preserving your real pages, posts, media, and settings. We take a snapshot before we start so nothing is lost, and we only remove what is harmful or unauthorized. A rebuild is almost never necessary just to clean an infection.
How is this different from your ongoing security plan?
This is reactive and one-time: it cleans a site that is already infected and clears blocklisting. Security monitoring is preventive and ongoing: it blocks and detects threats so a site stays clean. If you are compromised now, you start here, then move to monitoring to avoid a repeat.
Why did my site get hacked, and will it happen again?
Most hacks come from outdated plugins or themes, weak passwords, or known vulnerabilities that bots find automatically. We patch the specific cause as part of the cleanup, which is what stops immediate reinfection. Staying patched and monitored is what prevents the next one.
Do you remove the Google blocklist or browser warning too?
Yes. Once your site is verifiably clean, we submit the reviews needed to clear Google Safe Browsing and browser warnings, and we address host or search-console flags. These reviews are processed by the providers, so the exact clearing time is outside our control, but we handle the submissions for you.
Do you offer any guarantee against reinfection?
Because we patch the entry point and harden the site, a clean cleanup should not reinfect from the same cause. Any specific reinfection warranty or money-back terms are confirmed with you before we begin. The most reliable protection after a cleanup is an ongoing monitoring plan.
