FAQ

How to create a new VDWS_Virusdie account via the Virusdie WordPress plugin?

Just click on the link “Create Account” at the bottom of the plugin authorization page.

Can I use my current account for the Virusdie WordPress plugin?

Of course. But be sure that the tariff plan of your account lets you connect one more site. If you need to upgrade your plan, please, go to the billing section in the Virusdie complete dashboard. If there’s any problem with signing in, contact our support team.

Is there a free version of the Virusdie WordPress plugin?

Yes, of course. There are two versions of the plugin – Free and Premium.
In the Premium version, you have full access to all Vithrusdie tools such as daily and unlimited scans, auto-cleanup, patch management, WAF, black- and whitelisting, blacklists’ monitoring, file editor and malicious code highlighting, pre-cleanup backups, reports.
In the Free version, you can scan your site files for malware, malicious redirects and code, trojans, backdoors, shell scripts and so on once a month; you can also get detailed scan reports with malware and threats description and recommendations.

What if I see a “Sync problem” status near my website domain?

First of all, go to the Virusdie complete dashboard. And then follow the instruction. If you can’t handle the issue yourself, you can request our support team to help you.

How can I go to Virusdie complete dashboard?

There are two ways to access the Virusdie complete dashboard.
The first one is clicking on your avatar, which is in the upper right corner of the plugin area, and then clicking a menu item “Dashboard”.
Or you can click on the link “Jump to complete dashboard >” in the Website health monitor dashboard in the plugin area.

How can I upgrade my Free plan to a Premium one?

Just click “Upgrade Plan” or “Buy premium” in the Virusdie WordPress plugin. Or go to the Virusdie complete dashboard, to the billing section. Then choose a tariff plan you need and follow the instructions of the payment system.

You can click the “Send request to support >” link in the plugin area. Or you can send an email to our support team via support@virusdie.com

How often does Virusdie scan my website?

On the Premium plan: You have unlimited scans for your website. Just switch on “Daily scans” on the plugin area. Also, you can adjust scheduled scanning (in the Virusdie complete dashboard): daily, weekly, monthly. Or you can run scanning manually.

Why does the first scan go longer than the following ones?

Because we use the Virusdie Fast Scan engine. When you add a website to your account for the first time, Virusdie scans your website entirely with a full scan tool and makes a website snapshot. Then, it runs the fast scan engine for future scans.
Here you can learn more about the Virusdie Fast Scan engine.

Calm down! Because there is an automatic malware removal tool in Virusdie, the safest one in the industry. To remove a threat (or threats), you should jump to Virusdie complete dashboard and click the green button “Clean Up’ opposite an infected site. Next, turn on the Automatic website cleanup feature in the Virusdie WordPress plugin or the Virusdie complete dashboard to remove all threats during scanning automatically next time.

Yes, sure! To maximize the protection of your website, you can turn on Website Antivirus for real patching and turn on both Website Firewall and Patch Manager for website hardening.

You can read more about patch manager here and about website hardening here.

I have used VirusDie (VD) for 3 months now. Installed on our own pages as well as most of our customers websites as well. The install is super easy. Either install the plugin. Add admin-email address, receive code to that e-mail address. Copy, and paste in customers plugin-settings. Done. orInstall small php-file in root of customers hosting via for example ftp, or the hosting companies file manager. Then, if you like, you have your own admin dashboard to make adjustments to each site. You can set interval for scanning, change the power of the firewall, enable automatic patching of security glitches, and so on. Super great tool to have. So great to add to customers site, since we are experts in making great web sites, not expert in making sure EVERY security details is sorted out. As well as we now can say we take care of our customers web sites as part of a good support contract. Please note, VD is super friendly when it comes to support. And they are top notch to improve VD with better features and faster services month after month. I am not paid by them (I pay them). I am not part of the company or the team. I do not know any of them. Please not I will not use “super” for the next 3 months, starting now.

The dashboard has lots of great information but also shows pricing information and controls that non-administrators shouldn’t see. The worst part though is that clicking the manage subscription link on the dashboard will take my clients into my agency virusdie dashboard where they have access to my entire account!

I’ve been a long term user of Virusdie and it works well with Patchstack and MalCare Pro, keeping our sites safe. VD finds malicious files that MalCare Pro sometimes misses out, and vice versa.

I´m a long-term user of VD, the new plugin makes the integration a lot easier than before. Nice options!

Virusdie is our tool of choice for ensuring that our WordPress sites are kept clean from vulnerabilities. Our agency commonly inherits client sites that were built with outdated themes and plugins. Rebuilding is not always an option with the client, so Virusdie’s multiple protective features helps provide peace of mind. I HIGHLY recommend Virusdie over other security solutions due to the comprehensive solution they provide.
