Included from Pro Detect Repair / Recover

Malware Scanner is included from Pro.

What it does

The scanner checks site files for signs that something has been added, changed, or hidden where it should not be.

It gives site owners a clearer warning when a compromise may be present, so cleanup can start before visitors or search engines are affected.

Review scan settings and alerts before relying on it for live sites, especially on sites with custom code or unusual file changes.
