If your site shows strange pop-ups, redirects to other websites or Google warns visitors, act quickly.
- Change passwords: client area, control panel, FTP, database and every WordPress admin user.
- Run a malware scan: open the Security section in your control panel and run the malware scanner, then remove or clean the files it reports.
- Restore a clean backup from before the problem started. See How to restore your website from a backup.
- Update everything: WordPress, themes and plugins. Delete anything you don't use.
- Remove unknown admin users in WordPress.
If Google flagged your site, request a review in Google Search Console after cleaning.
