Malware scans: WhizzyScan and the deep file scan

Two scans for Magento and WordPress: what each one checks, how long it takes and how to read the report.

Two scans, for two jobs. WhizzyScan is quick and knows Magento and WordPress. The malware scan is a slow, deep check of every file.

Neither scan deletes or moves anything. You see what was found and decide. A finding marked suspicious is not always malware: custom code can look odd.
