<h4>File Integrity Checker</h4>
<p>The File Integrity Checker will compare your WordPress core files as well as your plugin and theme files to their original package. Its File Comparison Viewer will show you the differences between any modified file and the original. You can also <a href="https://blog.nintechnet.com/ninjascanner-powerful-antivirus-scanner-for-wordpress/#integrity" title="" rel="nofollow ugc">add your Premium themes and plugins</a> to the File Integrity Checker. Infected or corrupted files can be easily restored with one click.</p>
<h4>File Snapshot</h4>
<p>The File Snapshot will show you which files were changed, added or deleted since the previous scan.</p>
<h4>Database Snapshot</h4>
<p>NinjaScanner will compare all published posts and pages in the database with the previous scan and will report if any of them were changed, added or deleted.</p>
<h4>Anti-Malware Signatures</h4>
<p>You can scan your blog for potential malware and virus using the built-in signatures. The scanning engine is compatible with <a href="https://github.com/rfxn/linux-malware-detect" title="" rel="nofollow ugc">Linux Malware Detect LMD</a> (whose anti-malware signatures are included) and with some <a href="https://www.clamav.net/" title="" rel="nofollow ugc">ClamAV</a> signatures as well. You can even <a href="https://blog.nintechnet.com/ninjascanner-powerful-antivirus-scanner-for-wordpress/#signatures" title="" rel="nofollow ugc">write your own anti-malware signatures</a>.</p>
<h4>NinjaFirewall Integration</h4>
<p>If you are running our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/" title="Download NinjaFirewall" rel="ugc">NinjaFirewall (WP or WP+ Edition)</a> web application firewall plugin, you can use this option to integrate NinjaScanner into its menu.</p>
<h4>Fast and Lightweight Scanner</h4>
<p>NinjaScanner has strictly no impact on your database. It only uses it to store its configuration (less than 1Kb). It saves the scan data, report, logs etc on disk only, makes use of caching to save bandwidth and server resources. It also includes a Garbage Collector that will clean up its cache on a regular basis.</p>
<h4>Background Scans</h4>
<p>Another great NinjaScanner feature is that it runs in the background: start a scan, let it run and keep working on your blog as usual. You can even log out of the WordPress dashboard while a scanning process is running! You don’t have to wait patiently until the scan has finished. Additionally, a scan report can be sent to one or more email addresses.</p>
<h4>Sandbox for quarantined files</h4>
<p>When moving a file to the quarantine folder, NinjaScanner can use a testing environment (a.k.a. sandbox) to make sure that this action does not crash your blog with a fatal error. If it does, it will warn you and will not quarantine the file. It is possible (but not recommended) to disable the sandbox.</p>
<h4>Advanced Settings</h4>
<p>NinjaScanner offers many advanced settings to finely tune it, such as exclusion filters, selection of the algorithm to use, a debugging log etc.</p>
<h4>Privacy Policy</h4>
<p>Your website can run NinjaScanner and be 100% compliant with the <strong>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</strong>:</p>
<p>We, the authors, do not collect, share or sell personal information. We don’t track or profile you. Our software does not collect any private data from you or your visitors.</p>
<h4>Premium Features</h4>
<p>Check out our <a href="https://nintechnet.com/ninjascanner/" title="NinjaScanner Premium Edition" rel="nofollow ugc">NinjaScanner Premium Edition</a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Scheduled Scans</strong>: Don’t leave your blog at risk. With the scheduled scan option, NinjaScanner will run automatically hourly, twice daily or daily.</li>
<li><strong>WP-CLI Integration</strong>: Do you own several blogs and prefer to manage them from the command line? NinjaScanner can nicely integrate with WP-CLI, using the <code>ninjascanner</code> command. You can use it to start or stop a scanning process, view its status, its report or log from your favourite terminal, without having to log in to the WordPress Admin Dashboard.</li>
<li><strong>Dedicated Help Desk with Priority Support</strong></li>
</ul>


NinjaScanner – Virus & Malware scan

Using NinjaScanner (with NinjaFirewall) is an absolute pleasure. It finds all suspect files (changed/modified/non-standard) in the Wordpress installation, even files that I forgot that I had modified!

It leans heavily on the side of security, and will show all suspects including modified files, so you want to add some exclusions here - like cache, etc. - to avoid false positives.

This is a great security tool to add to any Wordpress powered site. The guys at NinTechNet really know their stuff, and apply that knowledge well. Their other plugin NinjaFirewall is amazing, and coupled with NinjaScanner, give a really solid security base for Wordpress.

Highly Recommended.
