Important Notice
This plugin helps clean database infections but it does NOT prevent reinfection if the source of the malware (such as nulled/pirated plugins or themes) is still installed. Always remove nulled software and use legitimate licensed plugins to permanently fix infections.

- Click Scan Database
- Review the threats found
- Click Clean All or clean rows individually
- Export a CSV report if needed
- Run the scan again to verify everything is clean
