Description

Shared hosting files can be scanned for malware patterns common in compromised web environments. It helps administrators inspect PHP sites, uploaded files, and server directories for suspicious content.

Malware scanners can produce false positives and may read sensitive customer data. Run scans with proper authorization, review detections manually, and avoid deleting files automatically without backups.
