Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about DevDome Malware Scanner – Virus Scanner & Malware Removal
No. Threats are moved to quarantine (a compressed, non-executable copy in the plugin's database table; the file itself is removed from disk) and can be restored from the Quarantine tab at any time. The only deletion is the explicit Delete permanently button on a quarantined file. Uninstalling the plugin removes its tables, settings and scheduled tasks, including the quarantine table, so restore or delete quarantined files first if you still need them.
No. Every scanning engine runs on your own server: core, plugin and theme integrity, code analysis, uploads, configuration files, users, cron, database and persistence. Connecting a free account adds the 90,000+ known-malware signatures, the security dashboard and the alert email. Without an account the signature set is never downloaded, so there is no known-malware signature matching; the scanner relies on its heuristics and reports that in the coverage notes. If you connect and later disconnect, the byte-pattern signatures already on this site keep matching, but updates and the file hash check stop.
It is built not to. Files WordPress cannot boot without are never quarantined. A repair backs the current file up to quarantine and lets the WordPress updater reinstall the same installed version from WordPress.org, verified against the official checksum afterwards; if the reinstall fails, the original is put back. Theme files, database content, user accounts, cron tasks and configuration files are never changed automatically. Anything quarantined can be restored with one click.
Because unscanned is not the same as clean. Excluded paths, files above the deep scan size limit, an unreachable checksum source, a file the previous scan could not finish and a stage that failed are all listed on the Overview, and findings on files that could not be rechecked are kept, not resolved.
Scans run in short batches (8 seconds per request by default, 3 to 25 in Settings) while the admin page is open, and continue through WP-Cron when it is closed. You can pause or cancel at any time. The scan does use PHP time on your server, so lower the batch budget on very constrained shared hosting.
Severity is the potential impact (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info). Confidence is how likely the finding is malicious. A known-signature match has 100% confidence; a high-entropy blob on its own is only a contributing signal and never called malware by itself. Low and Info rows are notes, not threats, and never trigger an alert.
