Frequently Asked Questions
- When you add DreamShield, it immediately runs a scan on your site and will automatically scan it on a daily basis after that. You are notified via email if DreamShield finds any issues. Your panel also displays this information. If the site is clean, your panel shows this information as well.
Out-of-date website software is the most common entry point for attackers. Content Management System (CMS) platforms — including WordPress and its plugins — are common targets, with new vulnerabilities being discovered all the time. Developers work diligently to patch security holes for the global community of users, but your website′s software must be kept current to benefit from these patches.
Even with updated software, certain “zero-day” exploits can still pose a threat, which is why it′s important to regularly scan your site for malware, compromised user accounts, and other lurking vulnerabilities.
DreamShield identifies and disables threats it finds. Depending on the severity of the issue and the complexity of your website, you may need to take additional action to specify correct file permissions, delete quarantined malware files, or reset passwords for compromised user accounts.
