WordPress malware removal and website security by Bound By in Austin, Texas

WordPress malware removal — done fast, done right.

Your WordPress site got hacked? We remove the malware, close the hole it came through, and get you out of Google’s penalty box.

Malware doesn’t just break your site — it gets you blacklisted, scares off customers, and hurts your rankings. We remove it, and we make sure it stays gone.

Why It Matters

A hacked WordPress site costs you more than a few days of downtime.

WordPress powers more of the web than any other platform — which also makes it the biggest target. Most hacks come through the same doors: an outdated plugin, a nulled theme, a weak password, an exposed login page.

When malware takes hold, Google slaps a “This site may be hacked” warning on your listing and drops you from search results. Browsers show a red warning screen that turns customers away before they ever reach you. Your domain can land on blocklists that follow you long after the cleanup is done.

The longer it sits, the worse it gets. But the good news: most WordPress hacks are fully recoverable. Remove the malware, close the vulnerability it came through, and get Google to re-review the site — and you’re back in business. We’ve been doing it since 2001.

How We Clean It

Scan & find everything

We scan every WordPress file, the database, and every plugin to find what's infected — not just the obvious symptoms. Miss one file and it comes right back.

Remove the infection

We clean the malicious code out of your files and database by hand. No shortcuts, no half-measures. The malware goes, and it stays gone.

Close the entry point

Hackers got in through an outdated plugin, a weak password, or an exposed admin panel. We find it and close it so they can't just walk back in.

Restore & verify

We get your WordPress site back online and confirm it's clean with a full re-scan. You don't just take our word for it — you see the proof.

Clear Google's warning

If Google flagged your site, we help you file for review so the warning comes down and your rankings can recover.

Harden & monitor

We lock WordPress down — core updates, plugin updates, security, and monitoring — so it doesn't happen again.

What Happens After

You get your WordPress site back — clean, working, and verified. Then we show you what went wrong, how we fixed it, and what we changed so it doesn’t happen again.

Most sites are fully recovered in a few days. If Google flagged your site, we walk you through the review request so the warning comes down and your rankings recover. And if you’d rather not think about WordPress security at all, we’ll keep an eye on it going forward.
