Malware Protection: Keeping Hackers Out of Your Code

Verified Knowledge
Quick Summary: Malware is malicious code designed to steal data or redirect traffic. AmanaFlow uses Imunify360 to scan millions of files daily, automatically cleaning infected code before it causes harm.
The Hidden Threat
Hackers don't always want to "delete" your site. Often, they want to hide a small piece of code (a backdoor) that allows them to use your server for spamming or crypto-mining. This is Malware.
How Malware Enters Your Site
- Outdated Plugins: The #1 entry point for WordPress and PHP apps.
- Weak Passwords: Brute force attacks guessing your credentials.
- Nulled Themes: "Free" versions of paid software that come pre-infected.
AmanaFlow's Multi-Layered Defense
1. Proactive Scanning (Imunify360)
We don't wait for your site to get slow. Our systems scan every file upload and change in real-time. If a signature matches known malware, the file is immediately quarantined.
2. AI Firewall (WAF)
Our Web Application Firewall uses machine learning to identify "bad behavior" from botnets. It blocks IPs that show signs of directory traversal or SQL injection attacks.
3. Kernel-Level Hardening
By securing the server's core (the Kernel), we prevent malware from "jumping" from one hosting account to another. Your data is isolated and safe.
What to do if you suspect an infection
If your site is behaving strangely, check your Security Dashboard in cPanel. You will see a list of any quarantined files. AmanaFlow also provides One-Click Cleanup to restore infected files to their original state.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to pay extra for malware scanning?
A: No. Real-time scanning and cleanup are included in all Business and VPS plans.
Q: Can I scan my own site manually?
A: Yes. You can trigger a manual scan via the "Imunify360" icon in your control panel at any time.
