Pyxsoft Anti Malware is a malware scanner for hosting servers. It finds web shells, backdoors, injected code and phishing kits on every account of the server, cleans them and keeps watching.

## Finds it all

New, obfuscated or a few bytes long. Besides signatures, it reads PHP the way PHP does and follows what the code does with input from a visitor, so a file does not need a known signature to be caught. Phishing kits are recognized too, even inside a .zip. 3 of 4 threats Pyxsoft Anti Malware caught in the last 30 days were unknown to VirusTotal.

Signatures update every 6 hours, and files flagged as suspicious are checked again after each update.

## Real time and on demand

- Real time: every file is checked the moment it lands on disk, whether it came by upload, FTP, an edit or cron.
- On demand: scan one account, every account or the whole server, whenever you want or on a schedule.

## Cleans it

Most scanners stop at quarantine. Pyxsoft Anti Malware removes the injected code and keeps the legitimate file, so the site stays up. The original is kept and every clean can be undone. Files that are entirely malicious go to an encrypted quarantine outside the accounts. Automatic actions are set separately for known malware and for suspicious files: quarantine, delete, clean or only report.

## Never slows you down

- WordPress with 9,229 files: 12 s the first scan, 0.5 s the next ones.
- WordPress with 15 plugins, 30,466 files: 32 s the first scan, 0.9 s the next ones.
- The CPU limit for scans is configurable and respected. Files that have not changed are not read again.

## Manage it

- cPanel: from WHM (Overview, detections, accounts, scans, quarantine, allowlist, settings).
- No panel: the `pyxsoft` command, with a full-screen terminal interface. Email alerts work on servers with no panel too.

## Where it runs

- cPanel and WHM: available.
- No panel, Debian and RHEL-based Linux, with Apache, nginx or Caddy: available.
- CorePanel: available. pxShield and the firewall come built into CorePanel; Anti Malware is a paid add-on.
- DirectAdmin: coming soon.

## Price

€7 per server a month, unlimited sites and accounts. Monthly or yearly (two months free), and packs of 10 servers (10% off) and 25 servers (20% off). With pxShield in Pyxsoft Suite: €11. Live prices in your currency: [/pricing](https://www.pyxsoft.com/pricing).
