How to remove malware from a website manually & malware injection removal

The detection rates of anti-malware and antivirus scanners varies considerably.

Malware: Why is it hard to remove?
Have you ever wondered why malware is so hard to get rid of, and why, no matter how many times you run your malware scanner, infected files keep reappearing, as if by magic?
In this article, I’m going to show the inner workings of such persistent malware, by dissecting and unraveling some malware samples recently discovered by the Imunify360 cybersecurity product.
You’ll see how this particular strain of malware propagates and evades detection, and what you can do to stop it infecting your system.
What to do if your website is blacklisted
A hacker might not cause any noticeable damage when infiltrating your web server. You may not notice any change in performance or any loss of data.
But that doesn't mean everything is okay. A popular use of a compromised server is to distribute malware.
Malware is malicious software. It gets embedded into your website's pages and can infect any visitors to those sites.
Hackers do this by injecting malicious code into a database or into web page templates. Visitors get redirected to malicious sites, or inadvertently download trojans.
