Quttera ThreatSign – Web Malware Scanner is a malware detection plugin for WordPress that helps you scan your website for a wide range of malicious threats — including malware, trojans, backdoors, hidden iframes, obfuscated JavaScript, spam-related code, SEO malware, and suspicious redirects. It’s designed to give site owners a quick overview of security risks and detailed scan reports directly from the WordPress dashboard without extensive technical knowledge.

🔍 What This Plugin Does
Quttera’s scanner leverages a cloud-based heuristic and AI-driven engine to analyze your site’s code and behavior — rather than relying purely on traditional signature matching. This helps the plugin identify both known threats and zero-day or unknown malware patterns (behavior that looks malicious even if it hasn’t been catalogued yet).

Unlike security suites that include firewalls or real-time protection, this plugin focuses on detection and reporting — giving you visibility into potential risks so you can take action.

📌 Usage & Limitations
✔ Best for Malware Detection — Provides in-dashboard scanning and reporting.
Liquid Web
✔ No Built-In Cleanup — The plugin detects and reports threats but doesn’t automatically remove them in the free version. You may need to clean infections manually or subscribe to Quttera’s premium ThreatSign plans for automated removal and monitoring.
WordPress.org
✔ Not a Full Security Suite — It doesn’t include a WordPress firewall, login protection, or hardening features like dedicated security plugins such as Wordfence or Sucuri, but it complements them by identifying malware.
Liquid Web
✔ Review Scan Results Carefully — Heuristic detection can sometimes flag benign but unusual code as potentially suspicious, so always verify findings before deletion.
