Malware scanner for suspicious files identifies malicious software and prevents it from accessing your website or the servers hosting it. Infectious files can be used for a variety of purposes, including slowing down your website and/or using server resources, redirecting users to other sites (often illegal) or stealing sensitive information like passwords and user data. To help you stay safe, our web and cloud hosting plans include a malware scanner, an automated tool integrated into the control panel that scans your site for any harmful or compromised files.

Anti-malware programs are created to combat threats that enter a computer covertly without the user’s knowledge, often through fake downloads or phishing email attachments. These malicious software programs are called malware (short for “malicious software”), and can steal data, encrypt and lock a device, spy on the user, and even infect other devices on the network.

A variety of techniques can be employed to detect malware, ranging from static to dynamic analysis. Static analysis examines a file’s code to identify any suspicious patterns, whereas dynamic analysis runs the code in an isolated area or sandbox to see how it works. Combined with rule-based detection, this allows for a more thorough inspection of files.

Jotti’s free malware scanner for suspicious files uses several anti-virus programs to check a file for malicious payloads and flag it as either low key or high risk. This option is ideal for establishing a baseline of security, detecting and mitigating malware within your storage environment, and responding to security alerts or preparing for audits.
