Q. What is malware?
A. Malware is a general term for malicious software and is a growing problem on the internet. Hackers install malware by exploiting security flaws in website scripts and password compromises and thus gaining access to web sites. The malware code is not visible or easily detected and may infect customers’ computers when they simply browse a compromised web site. Hackers use it to spread viruses, hijack computers or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information.

Q. How do I know if my website is free of malware?
A. Malware is rarely visible on your website; it is hidden in your web page code. A malware scan by a malware detection tool can help you identify infected code. The GeoTrust Website Anti-Malware Scan includes a daily malware scan. If malware is detected, you will be notified and directed to a list of infected pages and the code causing the problem. Your website administrator can find and delete all instances of the code and request that your site be rescanned within 24 hours.

Q. Who should use web site anti-malware scanning?
A. Any web site is at risk of being infected by malware. Small web sites might be more vulnerable because they are less likely to have resources and expertise to detect and respond quickly to attacks. Malware may infect your customer’s computers when they simply browse your web site. Targeting small web sites with low traffic allows hackers to avoid detection longer and cause
more damage.

Q. What are the benefits?
A. Every web site needs to be trusted to be successful. Growing concerns about fake sites, viruses and identity theft have made consumers reluctant to do business with web sites that are not taking steps to protect them.
