If your website is ever compromised, hackers may use it to silently distribute virus-infected files to your visitors. This means someone could visit your site and unknowingly get malicious software installed on their device. Situations like this lead to frustration, anger, and a loss of trust in your brand because visitors assume the problem came directly from your website.
SiteLock’s scanner checks every file and application on your site against both industry-standard and proprietary databases of known viruses. If the scanner detects any malicious software, you’ll get an immediate notification. The SiteLock team can also assist you with removing the infected files and restoring your site’s safety.
