What is malware?
Malware is a general term for malicious software and is a growing problem on the internet. Hackers install malware by exploiting security weaknesses on servers and gaining access to web sites. The malware code is not visible or easily detected, and may infect customers' computers when they simply browse a compromised web site. Hackers use it to spread viruses, hijack computers or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information.

Why does my Web site need a seal to be trusted?
Malware hackers look for easy targets which provide easy access and longevity of undetection. The GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Scan includes a daily malware scan to detect malware and alert you with detailed information to respond quickly to the attack. Just like a security sticker on a shop window, the GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Seal is posted on your web site which can deter hackers because of daily scans to detect malware threats.

Who should use web site anti-malware scanning?
Any web site is at risk of being infected by malware. Small web sites might be more vulnerable because they are less likely to have resources and expertise to detect and respond quickly to attacks. Malware may infect your customer’s computers when they simply browse your web site. Targeting small web sites with low traffic allows hackers to avoid detection longer and cause more damage.

What are the benefits to customers?
Every web site needs to be trusted to be successful. Growing concerns about fake sites, viruses and identity theft have made consumers reluctant to do business with web sites that are not taking steps to protect them.
