Malcure Malware Shield — Removal, Repair, Monitor

Is your website acting strangely? Seeing ‘Deceptive Site Ahead’ warnings, Japanese SEO hack, or random redirects? Time to fix and monitor your site with Malcure Malware Shield.

Malcure Malware Shield scans for infections, runs silent scheduled scans, and sends alerts before threats spread — turning one-time cleanup into always-on protection.

Malcure scans files, databases, and user accounts to find malware casual scanners miss — backdoors hidden in images, injections in your database, rogue, hidden admin accounts buried in your tables that don’t show up in the admin area. Then it watches your site with scheduled scans and alerts, so one-time cleanup becomes always-on protection.

Detection runs against 50,000+ signatures with real-time threat intelligence — the same definitions for every user, free or paid. You see every infection with exact file paths and line numbers.

What Our Users Say

Quotes are verbatim from WordPress.org support reviews, except for bracketed edits (for example, competitor names removed).

Best by far, better than [competitor name removed] and other giants

“You can see it is a bunch of geeks that created this, with skill and visual creativity at that. I spent hours trying to find a plugin like this. So many options and such bad results until now. Great job guys. You deserve it. Simple and effective. (Disclaimer to other potential readers: there are many types of hacks/malware out there, every scenario is different, but start with the Malcure scan and see how it goes. 9/10 you won’t be disappointed, my guess)” — @dalingzaf

The ONLY plugin that scans files…

“I am a web developer and have tried many malware removal plugins, including popular ones [competitor names removed]. However, none of them detected some unusual files that were actually malware causing regular attacks. Some of these files were in JPG format.” — @devzeeshanx

Best Malware Removal Plugin in just few minutes

“Most security plugins that are free only scan the code, but Malcure Malware Removal Plugin scans the wordpress database and the code files in few minutes. Accurately shows which Database table row is infected and it helps resolve the hacking attempt instantly. Saves a lot of time for the developers. Thank You Team Malcure” — @s3630

It’s not just a “teaser”

“This plugin really found the malware, and removed it. Really for free. Thanks guys, I’m going to donate now!” — @halucska

What Malcure Does

Detection

• File Scan: Core files, themes, plugins, images, uploads — backdoors, shells, obfuscated code, and malware hidden inside image files and archives.
• Database Scan: Finds malicious injections, recurring malware, and SEO injection links that file-only scanners never see.
• User Scan: Detects rogue admin accounts and compromised metadata, including application passwords that bypass your login page.
• DeepScan™: Scans every file-type without skipping within resource-limits and hidden files where malware hides.
• Checksum Verification: Compares your core, plugin, and theme files against official repository checksums. Tampered files are flagged based on the severify.
• SEO Hack Detection: Catches Japanese Keyword Hack, Pharma Hack, and other SEO hacks in page titles and database records.
• Vulnerability Scanner: Checks installed plugins and themes against a real-time vulnerability database.
• Ultra-High Precision: Checksum-based intelligence dramatically reduces false alarms compared to heuristic-only scanners.
• 50,000+ Signatures: Detects known variants — C99, R57, RootShell, and many more — plus unknown threats via behavioral analysis.

Monitoring & Alerts

• Scheduled Scans: Set a cadence — daily, weekly, or monthly. Runs silently in the background.
• Instant Alerts: Email report on schedules scans — clean or infected. You always know.
• Event Log: 100-day forensic record of every security event for root-cause analysis.

Hardening & Firewall

Real-Time Threat Intelligence

• Zero-Day: Threat definitions served in real time via the Malcure Cloud. No days-long delay.
• Google Search Console: Connect directly to fetch security warnings and blacklist status.
• Privacy: Scans send file checksums and your site’s domain to Malcure servers. No sensitive user data is transmitted. Use of the API is subject to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
• Lightweight: Runs only on demand or on schedule. No persistent background processes. No bloat.

Troubleshooting

Some files are detected by Malcure Malware Shield as “suspicious”. What gives?

Malcure’s DeepScan checks each file for malware. However some files aren’t pure malware but may contain code that is suspicious and could potentially do nasty things. You should carefully review and analyse them to see if they indeed do anything nasty.

I can’t get Malcure Malware Shield to work. It hangs / doesn’t complete the scan / breaks for some reason.

If you think that the plugin is broken, please report it here.

Malcure Malware Shield (or for that matter other plugins) may break on malware affected / broken websites. Malcure Advanced Edition integrates with WP CLI and allows you to complete the scan from WP CLI even when the site is blocked by the webhost or when you are unable to login to the website.

My site is infected however Malcure Malware Shield doesn’t detect the infection.

Malware keeps evolving. If you come across malware that Malcure Malware Shield is not able to identify, you may please report it here.

The scan gets stuck midway. What should I do?

In case of such an event, please file a support request with us and we’ll be more than happy to troubleshoot the issue.

Please visit this page.

I cleaned my site but it got infected again. What should I do?

Malware cleanup is a waste of time and effort unless you find the root cause behind the malware infection and monitor for recurrence. How was someone able to infect your website? Have you plugged in that security hole?

Please read Why Do Websites Get Hacked.

Google Safe Browsing site status (or some other scanner) still shows my site as infected. What should I do?

First make sure you purge your site cache. Second, Google (and other scanners) cache the results for some time. You’ll need to force or refresh the scan. You can also file a request with us to get your site off any blacklists.

I found a suspicious file, what now?

If Malcure flags it, it’s likely malicious. You can inspect the file content using our built-in inspector. If you’re unsure, consider our Expert Malware Removal Service.
