Website Malware Removal

Get your hacked website cleaned, fixed and secured

Digital Consulting fixes hacked websites and removes malware, with deep, hands-on experience on WordPress. If your site is redirecting visitors, showing a Google warning, defaced, sending spam or suspended by your host, we find what’s infected, clean it out, repair the damage and get you back online, then secure the site so it doesn’t happen again.

WordPress takes the brunt of it. Because it powers most of the web, it’s also the biggest target: 95.5% of the hacked sites Sucuri cleaned in 2023 were WordPress (Sucuri, 2023), not because WordPress is less secure, but because it’s everywhere. With attacks now largely automated, and increasingly AI-assisted, even small business sites get hit. The good news: most hacks are very fixable when you catch them early and call the right people.

Signs your website has been hacked

If you’re seeing any of these, get in touch. The sooner we act, the easier the fix.

Strange redirects

Your site sends visitors to spam, gambling, adult or other sites you didn’t link to.

Google security warning

Google shows “this site may be hacked” or “deceptive site ahead”, or your host has suspended you.

Spam pages & content

Pages, posts or pop-ups you never created appear, often pharma, casino or foreign-language spam.

Locked out of admin

You can’t log in, or there are admin users you don’t recognise.

Slow, broken or down

The site is suddenly very slow, throwing errors, or completely offline.

Blacklisted emails

Your email is landing in spam or being blocked, often a sign your server is sending spam.

What we do to fix it

A complete clean-up, not a sticking plaster.

Find the infection

We scan your files and database to find every piece of malware, backdoor and injected code, not just the obvious symptom.

Remove the malware

We clean infected files, remove malicious code and spam, and delete backdoors and rogue admin accounts.

Repair & restore

We fix the damage, restore what was broken, and update WordPress, plugins and themes to safe versions.

Get you off blacklists

We submit your cleaned site for review to clear Google’s “this site may be hacked” warning and any host or blacklist flags.

Secure & harden

We close the hole that let them in, strengthen logins, and set up protection so your site is far harder to hit again.

Keep it safe

We’ll show you what happened and offer ongoing maintenance and monitoring so it stays clean.

Common WordPress hacks we fix

If any of these sound familiar, we’ve seen and fixed it before.

  • Malicious redirects: visitors (often only on mobile, or only from Google) get sent to spam or scam sites.
  • Japanese & pharma SEO spam: hundreds of junk pages in another language or for fake products get injected to hijack your Google rankings.
  • Backdoors & rogue admins: hidden code and fake admin users that let attackers back in even after a surface clean.
  • Defacement: your homepage is replaced with the attacker’s message or images.
  • Phishing & spam-mailer hacks: your site is used to host fake login pages or to blast out spam email, getting your domain blacklisted.
  • Nulled-plugin & outdated-software infections: malware that rode in on a pirated plugin or theme, or through software that wasn’t updated.

How much does it cost?

Every hack is different, so we quote on the actual job after a quick assessment.

From R1,500 per fix

What affects the price: how many files and tables are infected, how long the site has been compromised, whether a clean backup exists, how many sites are affected, and whether blacklist or Google-warning removal is needed. Prices last reviewed: June 2026.

How do websites get hacked?

Most hacks come down to a handful of avoidable weaknesses.

  • Outdated software: old WordPress, plugins or themes with known security holes are the number one way in, and the easiest for automated bots to exploit at scale.
  • Weak or reused passwords: simple admin passwords get guessed by brute-force bots in minutes.
  • Nulled or pirated plugins and themes: “free” versions of paid software often ship with malware already inside.
  • Poor or shared hosting: one infected site on a badly managed shared server can spread to others.
  • No backups or monitoring: without these, a small infection goes unnoticed until it’s a big, expensive problem.

The fix for all of it is the same: keep everything updated, locked down and monitored. Once your site is clean, our website maintenance plans keep it that way.
