Scheduled and Realtime Scans

WP.pro keeps your WordPress site secure by performing both routine and real-time scans for malware and viruses across the entire WordPress directory. Our scans cover up to 15 directory levels, 10,000 files, and file sizes up to 20 megabytes. This proactive approach ensures your site stays clean and safe.

File Scanning Schedule

All files are scanned both regularly and in real-time when changes are detected. Routine scans take place multiple times daily, while real-time scans are triggered within milliseconds of any file modifications or creations. This dual scanning approach ensures consistent monitoring and rapid threat detection.

Handling Detected Malware

When malware is detected, WP.pro doesn’t delete it right away. Instead, it isolates the threat using an advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block access. You’ll receive detailed notifications via email or other configured methods, giving you all the information you need about the identified threat. This way, you have ample time to analyze the issue, remove specific files if necessary, and manage access through the WAF rule manager.

Frequency of Definition Updates

WP.pro updates its malware and virus definitions multiple times a day to protect against the latest threats. This frequent updating ensures your site is safeguarded against both new and evolving risks, maintaining a secure environment for your WordPress installation.

By integrating these security measures, WP.pro ensures your WordPress site remains robust and secure, allowing you to focus on your content and business without worrying about malicious threats.
