What it does

Keeping many WordPress sites free of malware gets tedious when you have to log in to each one and check it by hand. This extension moves that work into the MainWP dashboard you already use. Virusdie handles the scanning and cleanup, and the results appear alongside your other site management tools, so you can see which child sites need attention without switching between platforms.

You can set scan intervals for each site, run scans on demand and clean infected files or suspicious code with a single action. Reports summarize scan results, vulnerabilities and resolved issues, and the dashboard shows indicators such as firewall and auto cleanup status. It also flags outdated plugins, themes and insecure configurations, which makes it a good fit for freelancers and agencies looking after a portfolio of client sites.

Best for

Agencies managing many client WordPress sites in MainWP
Freelancers who maintain WordPress sites for several clients
Site owners running multiple WordPress installs from one dashboard
