    Hi there,

    Your domain is not hosted with us here at WordPress.com, so we are limited in the assistance we can provide since we do not have access to your site. However, since you have the Jetpack plugin activated, I’d recommend purchasing Jetpack Scan. Once you get Jetpack Scan, I would follow these steps to secure the site. Jetpack does offer security scans if you’d like help catching potential threats to your site. The package with backups and scans would help prevent viruses or anything similar moving forward.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

    No you can’t as wordpress.com doesn’t host your site. As you have a self-hosted site, you must solve this problem yourself.

    I don’t think anyone here wishes to catch your virus thanks.

    That is why we have sites here safely under the umbrella of WordPress.com.

    The best protection is keeping your wordpress.org software up-to-date, choose a quality hosting provider that keep its servers safe, use a really strong password together with 2FA, thighten security of your site to the maximum.

    Or go for the wordpress.com platform where all this is done for you.

    Thanks, that won’t be necessary.

    Just to clear up any possible confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

    We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

    You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this page:

    https://wordpress.com/go/website-building/wordpress-com-vs-wordpress-org/.

    If you need more help with your site, and GoDaddy is not able to help, I’d suggest posting to https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
