Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cleverhog Malware Scanner

No. The plugin is completely free with no paid features, upsells, or license keys. Every feature we develop — now and in the future — will be free and available to everyone.

No. It shows what was found with file paths, snippets, and severity so you can investigate. Restore from backup or use professional help for active breaches.

Yes. Legitimate plugins may use patterns that look suspicious (for example base64_decode). Review every critical finding before deleting files.

No. The scanner excludes its own directory from file scans.

File scans run in batches via AJAX to reduce PHP timeout issues.

Only plugins hosted on WordPress.org with published checksums for the installed version. Premium or custom plugins are listed as unverified; use the file malware scan on those.
