Virusdie review
Automated website malware cleanup with a free tier and hosting-platform integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Virusdie is a cloud-based website security service for website owners, businesses, developers, web agencies, and hosting providers. It scans website files, databases, plugins, themes, and core components for malware and vulnerabilities. When threats are found, it can automatically clean website files and databases, quarantine files that cannot be fixed, and create backups before cleanup. The product is designed for websites and PHP-based frameworks rather than conventional desktop antivirus use.
The published plans cover three distinct operating scales. Free supports one website with monthly automated malware and vulnerability detection, automatic cleanup, and no credit card requirement. Premium costs $15 per month and adds daily and on-demand unlimited automated detection plus ticket support, while retaining one website on the dashboard. PRO costs $499 per month and supports up to 1,000 websites, with daily and on-demand unlimited detection, automatic cleanup, three included seats, and customer security reports. For a single website owner, Free or Premium offers the clearest fit; agencies and providers need to weigh the higher PRO commitment against its multi-site capacity.
Operational coverage extends beyond detection. Virusdie includes 6-hour, 12-hour, and daily scheduled scans, threat quarantine, recovery from pre-cleanup backups, email alerts, PDF summary reports, malware and vulnerability reports, a file manager, file and database editors, a website firewall, and virtual patching. Its web and API access supports hosting and web-service workflows, with integrations for cPanel, Plesk, ISPconfig, DirectAdmin, and MainWP. Choose Virusdie when automated web malware remediation and hosting integration are priorities. A conventional desktop antivirus need or a lower-cost multi-site deployment may point elsewhere.
