If you suspect that you have infected site files, or you just want to do period scans, cPanel has a built-in Virus Scanner. This virus scanner can scan your website files and your email.

Here is how to scan your site files and email for infected files through cPanel:

[1] Log in to your cPanel account.
http://yourdomain.com/cpanel

[2] Under Advanced, click on Virus Scanner.

Once the cleanup is processed, you can go back do another scan.
If you have any questions or need assistance with running the virus scan, you can open a Technical Support ticket through your Client Area.
