Is this website malware scanner free?

Yes. The CleanTalk website malware scanner allows you to scan any public website for malware, hidden links, and security risks for free without installation.

What does the website malware scanner check?

The scanner checks websites for malicious code, hidden links, blacklist status, DNS issues, SSL configuration, and other common security threats.

Does the scanner work with WordPress websites?

Yes. The malware scanner works with WordPress and any other CMS or custom-built website because it analyzes publicly accessible website data.

Does Malware Website Scanner help keep my site Safe Browsing compliant and malware-free?

Yes. The Malware Website Scanner helps keep your website Safe Browsing compliant and malware-free by performing automatic daily checks for malware, phishing pages, suspicious scripts, and known security threats. The scanner also verifies your website against major security and DNS filtering databases, including Google Safe Browsing, Quad9, OpenDNS, CleanBrowsing, Cloudflare Family, AdGuard, and others. These checks help detect reputation issues early, before browsers or security services begin warning visitors about your website. Regular monitoring helps website owners quickly identify and resolve problems that may affect visitor trust, SEO, or website accessibility.

How do website viruses differ from malware?

The term malware refers to any malicious code or software designed to harm a website, its visitors, or its data. This broad category includes viruses, trojans, backdoors, ransomware, spyware, web shells, and other malicious scripts. A virus is a specific type of malware that can replicate itself by infecting other files or code. In practice, website infections are more often caused by backdoors, malicious scripts, and trojans than by traditional self-replicating viruses.

Do I need to install anything to run the scan?

No installation is required. Simply enter your website URL and the scan will start instantly online.
