Title: Security of my WordPress Website
Post by: Raúl120 on August 22, 2019, 11:45:44 PM

DEAR ALL.

THANKS FOR RECEIVING ME IN THIS PRESTIGIOUS FORUM, I HAVE SOME MORE THAN FIVE USING ON MY COMPUTER THE FREE VERSION OF THIS ANTIVIRUS AND THE TRUTH THAT GOES GREAT.

THIS IS WHY I TRUSTED THIS COMPANY, IN THIS SENSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING, I HAVE A WEB SITE AND UNTIL NOW I HAVE NOT HAD VIRUS AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, THESE DAYS A FRIEND ACCESSED AND SAID THAT I LEFT OF POTENTIAL OR DANGEROUS VIRUS ON THE WEB.

CHECK WITH MY HOSTING MANAGER AND I WAS INDICATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN SCAN IT ONLINE AND VERIFY THIS, OR KNOW ITS CURRENT STATUS BY A THIRD PERSON.

HERE I LEAVE YOU THE LINK OF MY WEB: https://vencrea.com (https://vencrea.com)

I WOULD THANK A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY IF YOU CAN HELP ME IN THIS.

COMMERCIAL CORDIAL GREETINGS

Hello Raul,

The provided URL doesn't seem to be detected by Avast. Could you please send us a screenshot of the detection message your friend is getting? https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/100/

Best regards,

Ondřej

Hello ondrej.m

Thanks for the answer, the question is that I don't have a screenshot of the message, I don't know if my friend has scammed me.

But for doubts I would like to verify on my own with a third party, such as with a virustotal.com tool the status of my current website and in the future.

Avast doesn't have an online tool for this?

@  Raúl120
URL 'scans' on VirusTotal aren't actually physical scans, but checks against blacklists (as far as I'm aware).

You can also check your site against other security scanners such as https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ (https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/).  And or https://zulu.zscaler.com/ (https://zulu.zscaler.com/).

As far as I'm aware the only way to have sites scanned is with avast installed and using your browser to connect.  This obviously carries some risk, but if only using it for your site that would be less.

Please be inform that Avast does not detect your website. I have checked it as well in VirusTotal and your website seems to be clear.

From what I understand, so far there is no problem with my website since it has been scanned with "zscaler", "securi" and virustotal and the result is that there is no malware and nothing similar.

I think then that in the future I will use these tools.

Although it would be interesting to have an avast tool for this purpose.

Thank you very much for the excellent support.

Greetings.
