AegisLab False Positive & Blacklist Removal

Is AegisLab flagging your website?

If AegisLab is warning visitors about your site — with something like Troj.W32.*, Troj.Script.*, generic malware/PUA labels — it means one of two things: your WordPress site really is infected, or it is a false positive left over from a problem that was already fixed. Either way, here is exactly how to get the warning removed.

Step 1 — Confirm it is really a false positive

Before you ask AegisLab for a review, make sure the site is actually clean. If you request removal while malware is still present, the flag comes straight back (and some vendors rate-limit repeat requests). Check it two ways:

If anything turns up, get it fully cleaned first — deleting the visible malware is not enough if a hidden backdoor remains.

Step 2 — Report the false positive to AegisLab

AegisLab now routes all false positives to its parent lab, Lionic. Submit here: lionic.com/supports/report-false-positive

  1. Note that AegisLab false positives are handled by Lionic.
  2. Open lionic.com/supports/report-false-positive.
  3. Submit the file/URL, SHA-256 hash and the AegisLab/Lionic detection name.
  4. State it is a legitimate site/file and give a contact email.
  5. If the form fails, email support@aegislab.com or support@lionic.com.

Good to know: aegislab.com/reportfp/ is now just a redirect notice — use the Lionic portal. AegisLab shows as its own engine on VirusTotal but shares Lionic’s backend.

Step 3 — If the warning keeps coming back

A warning that returns after you have been delisted almost always means the infection was never fully removed — usually a backdoor in a theme file, a rogue admin user, or malware stored in the database. That is exactly what I fix. I am a USA-based WordPress security specialist: I remove the infection completely, submit the delisting on your behalf, and harden the site so it stays clean.

Frequently asked questions

How long does AegisLab take to remove the warning? Once your site is genuinely clean and you have submitted the request, most reviews clear within a few days — see the timing note above. Submitting while still infected only restarts the clock.

It keeps coming back — why? Because the real infection (a backdoor, rogue admin, or database payload) is still there. A full cleanup stops the loop.
