Scan & Find Malware on Hacked Websites for Malicious Content

Problem : We have a Online shopping store where we sell Automotive related products & accessories. From the past few days, Google and Firefox browser is assigning our website with a Malware Warning under Badware Warning. We instantly downloaded all the content from our website’s Ftp account and performed a complete Antivirus checkup for Adwares, and found that there is no issue with out content. Still the website seems to be hacked and we get errors when we access the index page. Is it possible to scan all the content online because manually downloading and checking all this data is a cumbersome job.

Solution : If your website is hacked, the first and foremost thing you need to do is change the websites control panel, ftp & admin access logins. This is because the biggest loophole would be because of setting up a unsecured password, which is only reason we have always recommended everyone to set a Secured password with Password Generator.

Next in order to perform a checkup of your websites content for Malware and malicious content you need to check out UrlVoid – A online website scanner for virus. The service uses different scanning engines like Google Diagnostic, McAfee SiteAdvisor, Norton SafeWeb, MyWOT, TrendMicro Web Reputation engine etc and reports back whatever dangerous is found in it.

Do note that using these of tools are not totally going to make sure that the website you are scanning are secured because there would still be some bad stuff, hence try to check up with more similar tools for better security.
