How do I check my hosting account for viruses?

If, for some reason, you need to check your hosting account for viruses, just follow the steps below.

1. Log in to your hosting control panel.
2. Once logged in, scroll down to the Advanced section.
3. Click on Virus Scanner.
4. On the next page you will have the option to scan your mail (email accounts), entire home directory, public web files (usually your site files), or public FTP files. Choose your preference and click Scan Now.
5. On the next screen you'll see a status bar where you'll see the progress of the virus scan. Note: The more files – especially if you keep copies of email on the server – scanned will result in a long scan.

Feel free to email support if you have any questions.
