Find malware on your web server/shared hosting

Some of my client websites get hacked. Some shared hosting providers provide some virus scanning tools, but it’s not always enough and what about those who even don’t provide malware scanning. Hopefully they provide SSH access and AI-BOLIT can be used. It’s a free website virus and malware scanner for websites.

Last run it
php ai-bolit.php --mode=2
or not paranoid/normal mode
php ai-bolit.php
