Antivirus Scan and Cleanup for OpenCart

Description

A hacked OpenCart store is not just a buyer data threat. Search engines quickly detect malicious code and block the site in results or mark it as dangerous. Recovering rankings after such blocking takes months. Fast response is critical.

We perform complete recovery of hacked OpenCart: remove malicious code, find and close the vulnerability that caused the compromise, perform hardening to prevent repeat attacks.

Recovery Process

• Server file scanning for malicious code (PHP shells, backdoors, malware)
• Infected file removal and restoration from clean backup or reference copy
• Access log analysis to determine entry point (exploit, vulnerable version, weak password)
• Vulnerability closure: CMS/module updates, password changes, code fixes
• Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal verification
• Review request in Google Search Console (if site is blocked)

Post-Recovery Protection

After virus removal we harden the server and OpenCart: correct file permissions, admin panel protection, fail2ban, all component updates. Without this a repeat infection will occur via the same path.
