I have three WordPress sites running under a single HostGator cPanel account that have been hit by an infection. I’m not yet sure whether it’s a virus, a trojan, or something else, but bad links keep appearing and Google has started flagging the domains. I need someone who can jump in quickly, identify exactly what has taken hold, remove every trace of it, and harden the server so the problem does not come back. All three sites share the same filesystem and database user structure, so a coordinated cleanup and security hardening is essential. Please include core file scanning, plugin-theme integrity checks, database sweep, and .htaccess review as part of the work. Once everything is clean, I’d like you to set up a lightweight security plugin, run post-clean security scans, and provide a brief report explaining what was found, what was fixed, and the preventive steps you implemented. Deliverables • Complete malware removal on all three WordPress installations • Security hardening (file permissions, wp-config salts, brute-force protection, firewall rules) • Final scan screenshots or logs proving the sites are clean • One-page summary of actions taken and recommendations for ongoing safety The job is finished when the sites load normally, no malicious code remains, and external scanners report them as safe. If bidding for my project, please ensure it is your final bid to satisfy and complete the project, no negotiation on price after you have placed your bid.
