Step 2 - Choose which subscription you want

You can choose between two subscriptions:

  • SiteLock Find detects malicious files on your website. You need to then remove or repair the malware yourself.
  • SiteLock Fix detects malware and also removes it. It also allows daily scanning of larger websites with many pages.

In this guide, we have selected SiteLock Fix.

Note: You may have received an offer to try a basic version called SiteLock Lite, 6 months for free. If you want to keep SiteLock after the 6 months trial period, you need to upgrade to SiteLock Find.

Step 6 - Enable automatic malware removal (Fix only)

If you have signed up for SiteLock Fix, you can enable automatic malware removal. If SiteLock detects malware while performing the SMART scan, it will attempt to remove it.

  1. Open your SiteLock dashboard.
  2. Click Settings in the menu to the left, and next SMART Settings.
  3. Select Yes, automatically remove the malware found in the drop-down menu and click Save.
Note: The first SMART scan of your website can take up to 24 hours, depending on the size of your site. This is the scan that removes malware. Read our guide to learn more about the scans SiteLock offers.
