License notes


Malware removal:

  • Automatic malware removal is enabled by default for 'Pro' and 'Premium' licenses. You can manage auto-removal in the malware settings page.
  • Malware removal is not included with basic licenses. You will be prompted to upgrade your license if you enable removal in malware settings.
Scan frequency:


The number of scans you can run depends on your license type:

  • Basic – One scan per day
  • Pro – Two scans per day
  • Premium - Four scans per day

Scheduled and manual scans both count towards your scans per day. For example, if you have a premium license and schedule 4 scans, but run two manual scans, then only two scheduled scans will run that day.


Upload the scanner agent


You need to upload the scanner agent to your site to enable malware scans.


There are two ways to do this:

  1. Automatic - Use the cWatch interface to upload the agent to your site.

  • Click 'Scan' > 'Server Side Scan' > 'Overview'
  • Click 'Enable Scanner'
  • Choose 'Automatic' in the 'Enable Server Side Scanner' tile
  • Enter your web-server FTP details
  • Click ‘Test Connection’
  • Click 'Save' after the connection is established
  • You will see the message – 'Server side scanner is enabled'
  • See Automatic configuration for more information
  1. Manual - Download the agent and copy it to your site. The agent is a .php file.

  • Click 'Scan' > 'Server Side Scan' > 'Overview'
  • Click 'Enable Scanner'
  • Choose 'Manual' in the 'Enable Server Side Scanner' tile
  • Click the purple ‘PHP’ icon to download the file
  • Upload the file to a publicly accessible location on your site
  • Enter the URL of the file in the space provided
  • Click ‘Test and Save’. The scanner will be enabled if the test is successful
  • See Manual Configuration for guidance on this

Once done, cWatch will run scheduled scans on all files hosted on the website.


Open the scan interface

  • Select the website from the menu at top-left of the dashboard
  • Click the 'Scan' tab then 'Server Side Scan'

From the server side scan section you can:

  • Upload the scanner agent to your site
  • Exclude files that you don't want to scan
    • Start a manual scan
    • View malware scan results
    • Submit automatic cleanup requests
    • Configure automatic cleanup requests
    • Configure email notifications
    • Start a scan and request cleanup in a single step
