Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Segurium – Free Malware Removal & Auto Cleanup for Hacked Websites, Antivirus Scanner, Vulnerability Alerts
All of them. Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app (TOTP), email codes, backup codes, trusted devices and per-role enforcement. Brute force protection with login attempt limits, lockouts, a honeypot and xmlrpc coverage. A firewall with IP, CIDR and country rules, so you can block a country from your login page. Security headers with HSTS, CSP, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy, plus cookie hardening. Geoblocking from a local database, by country or by preset region (EU, Americas, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Middle East, High-Risk). None of it is a trial and none of it is gated behind a pro plan. Only the number of cloud cleanups is capped on the free tier: three every 30 days.
Yes. WP-CLI accepts the service disclosure and reports the cleanup quota, and settings export and import carry one site's configuration to the next. Every install runs the same plugin code and the same free quota, so a site that joins later behaves like the rest.
In practice, yes. People call the same problem a website virus, a WordPress virus or malware, and it is one thing: files on your server that should not be there, plus code an attacker added to files that should. Segurium hashes the files on your server and asks the cloud verdict database what each one is, so an anti-malware scan of a whole website is a hash lookup rather than a file-by-file inspection. A desktop antivirus protects your laptop. Segurium does that job for your WordPress files, and it removes what it finds.
For malware removal, two-factor authentication, a firewall, geoblocking and security headers, yes. Those are the parts most plugins sell as a premium subscription, and Segurium ships them free on every install. The paid tier only raises the cloud cleanup quota. If you are moving from another security plugin, the Migration tab imports your settings from Wordfence, All-In-One Security and Solid Security so the switch does not cost you your hardening.
Files the cloud verdict database has already classified as malicious. In a normal break-in that means an uploaded web shell or backdoor, a redirect injected into a theme file, spam pages, spam links, hidden links, a phishing page dropped in an upload folder, the Japanese keyword hack, and leftovers from a crypto miner. Segurium does not care what the family is called, whether someone labels it a trojan or a virus. It checks whether a file is malicious and whether it can put the clean version back.
It removes it. Malware removal runs on the free service tier: up to 3 cloud cleanups per rolling 30 days, enough for a typical incident. Most other plugins report the malware for free and charge for the repair. Every one is reversible from a local encrypted backup.
That is the usual case, and it is what the cleanup engine is for. Where an attacker injected code into a file of yours, Segurium strips the injection and leaves the rest of the file alone. Where the file is nothing but malware, it gets emptied. For WordPress core, plugin and theme files, the integrity scan pulls the official content from upstream manifests, so you get a clean copy even with nothing of your own to restore from.
Install Segurium on the hacked site, accept the service disclosure and run a malware scan. Segurium lists the infected files and cleans them on one click, keeping an encrypted backup of every original. Then run an integrity scan, so any core, plugin or theme file the attack rewrote is restored to its official content. Redirect, Japanese SEO spam and pharma hacks live in exactly those files. Once the malware is gone, request a review in Google Search Console or ask your host to lift the suspension; Segurium removes the reason for them, it does not file the requests.
It shouldn't. Scans run in chunked background jobs, behind a lock so a single run can't pile on top of itself. Real-time scanning only inspects new and modified files. The plugin keeps no large tables in memory and ships no bundled binaries.
Every cleanup is reversible. Originals are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and stored locally — retained for up to 30 days, subject to per-bucket count and size caps — and you can restore from backup in one click. You can also submit a false-positive report directly from the threats list, and our team uses those to improve classification.
