Clean Malware From DreamHost Blog

Job ID: 39959256

Budget: £20 – £250 GBP

My self-hosted very small private blog on DreamHost has been hit with injected malware scripts. I already have a list of the infected files; what I need now is a careful, surgical cleanup plus practical guidance on reclaiming disk space.

Here’s what I’m looking for:
• Remove every malicious script on the list and verify the site is clean.
• Double-check for any lingering or related infections I might have missed.
• Provide a brief report of the actions taken, including file paths you touched or replaced.
• Advise me on current space usage—what can safely be deleted or optimized so the blog runs leaner.

Access to my DreamHost panel and SFTP can be provided as soon as we start. Please handle the work without causing downtime, and keep a backup before any edits. If you know WordPress hardening best practices, that’s a plus, but the priority is cleaning the existing malware and clearing out unnecessary bloat.

I’m ready to begin right away and will be responsive for any quick clarifications you need.
