Google has suspended all of my paid ad campaigns because their scanner detects hidden malware on my WordPress site. I don’t see obvious redirects, pop-ups, or performance issues, yet Google keeps flagging malicious links that I can’t locate. I need a specialist to dig in, eliminate every trace of the infection, and lock the site down so ads get re-approved quickly. You’ll have WordPress admin, cPanel, and database access. No security plugin is active right now, so you’re free to deploy whichever tools you trust—Wordfence, Sucuri, MalCare, CLI scanners—provided the end result is a clean, secure install that passes Google Safe Browsing. Deliverables • Comprehensive scan report detailing every infected file, URL, or database entry • Complete removal of malware and confirmation that Google Ads & Safe Browsing tests are clear • Short post-cleanup summary explaining the breach and the fixes applied • Core, theme, and plugin updates plus file-permission and firewall hardening • 30-day monitoring setup with alerting so we’re notified instantly of any relapse Let me know your turnaround time and any prerequisites. I’m ready to start right away and keen to get campaigns back online.

I can help with this and start right away. Since Google Ads is flagging hidden malware, this needs a proper file + database level cleanup, not just a quick plugin scan. I’ll trace the infected URLs/files, remove the malicious code, harden the WordPress install, and make sure the site is in a much safer state for re-review. I’ve handled cases where the site looked normal on the surface but still had hidden malware causing ad disapprovals.

Hi, hope you're doing well! I'd be glad to help clean your WordPress site and get your Google Ads reinstated fast. Here's my approach: Deep scan using Wordfence and Sucuri CLI to find every infected file and database entry. Full malware removal with a detailed report of what was found and fixed. Core, theme, and plugin updates plus firewall and file-permission hardening. 30-day monitoring with instant alerts for any relapse. A few questions to help me get started: 1. When did Google first flag the site, and have you made any recent plugin or theme changes around that time? 2. Do you have a clean backup from before the infection that we could use as a reference point? 3. Are there any custom plugins or themes that can't simply be replaced with fresh copies? I can typically turn this around within 24 to 48 hours once I have access. Let's get your campaigns back online quickly. Azeem Amin

Google flagging malicious links you can't locate, with no visible redirects or popups, almost always means an injected backdoor or database-level payload that cloaks itself from admins while still serving to Google's crawler. Since no security plugin is running, I'd start clean: verify WordPress core against official checksums with WP-CLI, diff every theme and plugin to catch modified files, and scan wp_options, wp_posts and cron jobs where hidden spam links typically live. I'll also check .htaccess, mu-plugins, and any rogue admin users or uploader backdoors that keep reinfecting the site. After removal I'll confirm a clean result against Google Safe Browsing and request review in Search Console so your paused campaigns get re-approved fast, then harden the install: correct 644/755 permissions, disable file editing, rotate salts and passwords, update core, theme and plugins, and add a firewall (Wordfence or Cloudflare WAF). You get the full scan report, a plain-English summary of how the breach happened, and 30-day monitoring with instant relapse alerts. I can start today; a cleanup like this is usually a 2-3 day turnaround. One question: has Search Console flagged specific sample URLs under Security Issues? Those pinpoint exactly where the injection is serving and cut removal time sharply. Muhammad Saad

The reason you can't see redirects or pop-ups but Google still flags you is the giveaway: this is almost certainly a cloaking infection that only serves malicious content to Googlebot and new visitors — hidden in injected database rows, a fake plugin, or obfuscated PHP in wp-content — while showing you, the logged-in admin, a clean site. So I'd start with a full backup, then hunt it properly: compare core, theme and plugin files against fresh copies to spot injected code, grep the filesystem and database for obfuscated payloads (eval, base64_decode, injected scripts in wp_posts/wp_options), and check for rogue admin users and cron jobs that reinfect. After removal I harden — update everything, fix file permissions, lock wp-config, disable file editing, add a firewall (Wordfence/Sucuri) — then request review so Safe Browsing and Google Ads clear. You get a scan report of every infected file/entry, a plain-English breach summary, and 30-day monitoring with alerts. To keep ads clean long-term we should also find the entry point, not just the payload. I can start right away.

I’m available to take this on immediately. Your brief is clear, and the key part will be identifying the malicious links Google is seeing even though there are no obvious redirects or popups on the front end. I’ll handle the cleanup, core/theme/plugin updates, security hardening, and provide a short summary of the breach path and fixes applied. The goal will be to get the site clean and ready for Google’s checks again as fast as possible.
