![]() 9 best malware removal plugins for WordPress ![]() Remember the part where we talked about being eternally vigilant? And, the vigilance begins with installing and running a WordPress security plugin. Run the audit feature and scan your website every once in a while to stay vigilant of the malware and many other security threats of WordPress sites. Do a full site checkup using a WordPress security plugin to make sure that your site is free from malware. Now comes the crucial part, it’s not that you scan your site once and forget about it, rather, this is something that you need to do at regular intervals. If you used a backup plugin to conduct your backup, it should allow you to restore it from the same plugin. Upload all the content that you had as backup files. Restore all your files and folders that you backed up. Don’t install old plugins or plugins that are abandoned by their developers as they can make your WordPress site vulnerable. Reinstall the plugins you previously had from the WordPress repository or download them from the plugin developers. We’d advise you to not upload your old theme as it might contain hacked files from the malware. Reinstall your previous theme from scratch by downloading it freshly. Along with this, change your other credentials including your username. While reinstalling WordPress, you’ll be able to input a password, we recommend generating a new password for your site for a fresh start.
