ImunifyAV stops malicious PHP scripts, both new and old, preventing them from running on your servers
Malicious Software commonly referred to as malware is a type of software or application created with the aim of damaging computers, networks and other applications.
Malware is dangerous because it can be misused for illegal purposes and affect your website's performance and risk having a hosting account suspended if it is spreading malware, even inadvertently.
If you do find any malicious content on your account, here are the steps that you should take in order to clean the malware:
Update all scripts to the latest version
Make sure that all of your applications and scripts are always up to date. If you use WordPress, check if there are any new updates in your website’s Admin and plugins/themes section.
