Cleaning the WordPress site from viruses and restoring functionality
Hello. My WordPress hosting has detected malicious code and temporarily restricted some functions (outgoing connections, sending mail).
Requirements:
- Conduct a full scan of the site for viruses and backdoors
- Clean all infected files
- Reinstall the WordPress core (without losing content)
- Reinstall or check all plugins and the theme (remove suspicious/infected ones)
- Check the /wp-content/uploads/ folder for malicious files
- Close vulnerabilities that led to the infection
- After cleaning — ensure that the site is functioning correctly
- Prepare the site for re-scanning by the hosting
Additionally:
– change or provide recommendations for changing passwords (admin, FTP, database)
– if possible, set up basic protection to avoid reinfection
Please let me know what you need to start working and an estimate of time/cost.

Good day! I see the situation — the hosting has blocked outgoing connections due to malicious code, a familiar picture. I will start with a full scan, clean the files, reinstall the core, and close the hole through which they got in — send me the access details and we will get started.
