A hacked website is frustrating - it's troublesome for your business and visitors, and removing a hack can be time-consuming.
The most complicated thing is to prove to Google that you are not longer a threat.

Change the passwords- For security purposes, this should be the first step. Contact your website administrator and change your CMS website password and your Cpanel password.

Let's check for warnings- Probably you will see in your website messages something like "The site ahead contains malware". This will be a bad sign and it means that Google put you in a blacklist. Also, you can still be hacked without a warning message if your website is not updated.

Restore your website from backups- Make sure your website provider has the backup solutions or maintenance service. If you don't have a backup, the cleaning process is more complicated.

Clean your website- This is the crucial part, if you don't know how to do that, you can contact us at 570-419-2780. But you have to identify the threat, running software, scanners and also checking the database. If you clean the website, the next step will be to contact Google and prove that you are clean. Sometimes you have to contact antivirus companies to remove your IP from their blacklists.
