My website [login to view URL] is displaying an annoying popup masquerading as a Chrome update; it is clearly malware/phishing, and I need to eradicate it as soon as possible. What I expect from your work: Complete removal of the malicious code and any file, script, or database entry associated with the popup. Update of all site plugins, themes, and software to close the security vulnerability that allowed the intrusion. Verification that the page is clean again on services like Google Safe Browsing. A brief final report containing: infected files, actions taken, the updated version of each component, and best practice recommendations to prevent future attacks. Available resources: I have full administrator access (hPanel, FTP, and CMS backend), so I can provide credentials immediately. Acceptance criteria: The popup must be permanently removed, the website must load without alerts or redirects, and diagnostic tools must mark it as safe. If you believe that adding extra layers of protection is advisable alongside the updates, we can review that after the initial cleanup.

Hi, I can take care of this and get the website cleaned up quickly. The fake Chrome update popup is typically caused by injected JavaScript, compromised plugin/theme files, malicious database entries, or hidden backdoors left by an attacker. I'll perform a complete security audit of the site, remove the infection, identify the entry point, and ensure the malicious code does not return. As part of the cleanup, I'll update all outdated components, verify that the website loads normally without popups, redirects, or browser warnings, and run security checks to confirm the site is safe. I'll also provide a summary of the affected files, actions performed, updated versions, and recommendations to strengthen the site's security moving forward. With administrator, FTP, and hosting access available, I can begin immediately and complete the cleanup within a few hours. I’m available to start right away and can keep you updated throughout the process until the site is fully restored and secure. Thanks. Stelian

Hello, The fake “Chrome update” popup is usually a sign that malicious code was injected into a plugin, theme, upload file, or database record. I will trace the infection source, remove all related code, and verify that no redirects or hidden backdoors remain. My approach is to first create a backup, scan the files and database, clean infected entries, update only the necessary plugins/themes safely, and test the website to ensure all functionality remains intact. I have also handled WordPress lead-capture sites and production deployments where stability after updates was critical. You will receive a concise report listing infected files, actions taken, updated components, and security recommendations. Has the popup appeared on all pages or only on specific pages of the site? Looking forward to working with you. Srdjan

Hi, I can help remove the malware from your website and identify the root cause of the compromise to ensure the issue does not return after cleanup. Based on your description, the fake Chrome update popup is commonly caused by injected JavaScript, compromised theme/plugin files, malicious redirects, database injections, or unauthorized code added through a vulnerable component. I'll perform a full investigation rather than simply removing the visible popup. My approach includes: • Creating a backup before any remediation work begins. • Scanning website files, themes, plugins, uploads, and database content for malicious code. • Identifying and removing all malware, backdoors, redirects, and injected scripts. • Reviewing access logs and vulnerable components to determine the likely entry point. • Updating WordPress core, themes, and plugins to secure versions. • Verifying file permissions and security settings.• Checking Google Safe Browsing and other security scanners to verify the site is clean. I have experience cleaning hacked WordPress websites, removing malware injections, eliminating malicious redirects, and hardening sites against future attacks. My goal is not only to remove the infection but also to close the vulnerability that allowed it in the first place. I can begin immediately once access is provided and will deliver a fully cleaned, updated, and verified website along with clear documentation of all work performed.

Hi there Do you have a recent clean backup available, or should I first create a full backup before touching infected files and database entries? Is the popup appearing on all pages, or only after visiting from Google, mobile, or a specific browser? I can remove the fake Chrome update malware, scan files and database entries, update plugins and themes safely, and keep the website functional. I will also verify redirects, check Google Safe Browsing, and send a short report with infected files, actions taken, versions updated, and prevention steps. I would be happy to review the hPanel, FTP, and CMS access and start the cleanup. Best Oleksandr

The fake Chrome update popup is typically injected JavaScript sitting in a theme file or a compromised plugin. I would log into cPanel, scan all PHP and JS files for the payload, remove it, then update plugins in a way that leaves the site intact. Clean within 24 hours. The bid is based on what is in the description and may adjust once I see the actual files. Available to start right now. Want to jump on a quick call?
