Malware scanner plugins protect WordPress sites by detecting malicious code, backdoors, trojans, and suspicious file changes before they cause damage. These tools perform deep file integrity checks, compare core files against known-good WordPress versions, and can quarantine or remove threats automatically. They are essential for site owners, agencies, and developers managing client sites — particularly those running WooCommerce stores or membership platforms where a breach could expose customer data. Many malware plugins also include firewall rules, login protection, and real-time threat intelligence feeds to stop attacks before they reach your database.
