Clean Malware & Secure Website

Job ID: 40311064

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

My custom-built website has been blacklisted by the major search engines after a confirmed malware infection. I need a security specialist who can move quickly to track down every malicious file or script, remove it completely, and close whatever door let it in.

Once the site is clean I also want the connection locked down with a valid SSL certificate so browsers stop flagging the domain. Please be comfortable working without the convenience of WordPress plugins—I built this site from scratch, so you will be digging directly into the codebase and server configuration.

Deliverables I expect:
• Full malware scan, manual verification, and removal
• Hardening of core files, database, and server settings (Apache/Nginx, PHP, etc.)
• Installation or renewal of a properly configured SSL/TLS certificate and redirection of all traffic to HTTPS
• A brief report showing what you found, what you fixed, and concrete advice to prevent a repeat infection
• Guidance—or, if you offer it, direct assistance—in submitting the clean-up documentation to search engines so my domain is removed from their blacklist

I will give you SSH and control-panel access as soon as we start. Clear communication and evidence of previous malware clean-ups on custom sites will weigh heavily in my choice.
