What is Malware?

Malware is software designed to cause harm. On a website, it might inject hidden links, redirect visitors to scam pages, steal customer information, send spam from your server or turn your site into a launching point for other attacks.

The damage goes beyond the technical. Google can flag an infected site with a warning that scares away visitors, and rankings can drop. Cleaning up takes time, and customers may lose trust. The most common entry points are outdated software, weak passwords and untrusted plugins.

Prevention is far cheaper than cleanup. That means keeping software updated, limiting who has access, using strong logins and two-factor authentication, running a firewall and keeping tested backups. We provide monitoring and protection through our hosting and security services.
