Rising False Positive & Blacklist Removal

Is Rising flagging your website or file?
If Rising is flagging your site or a file — often showing up as generic malware/PUA detections (Rising engine, e.g. Malware.* / Trojan.* on VirusTotal) — it is either a real infection or a false positive from a past issue. Here is how to get it cleared.
Step 1 — Confirm it is really a false positive
Do not request removal while malware is still present, or the flag returns. Check first:
- Run my free Is My Site Hacked? checker.
- Cross-check on VirusTotal to see every engine flagging you.
If anything turns up, get it fully cleaned first — deleting the visible malware is not enough if a backdoor remains.
Step 2 — Report the false positive to Rising
Rising’s Chinese FileCheck form is live; the English form was retired. Submit here: mailcenter.rising.com.cn/FileCheck
- Update Rising and re-scan to confirm.
- Open the FileCheck center and pick “误报文件上报” (false-positive report).
- Upload the compressed file.
- Save the “RS”-prefixed ticket code to track results.
- If needed, follow up by emailing fp@rising.com.cn.
Good to know: The Chinese form is live in 2026, but the English form (filecheck_en) is retired and now redirects to fp@rising.com.cn. Archive password convention: “clean”.
Step 3 — If the warning keeps coming back
A detection that returns after you have been cleared almost always means the infection was never fully removed — usually a backdoor in a theme file, a rogue admin user, or malware 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 Rising take to clear a false positive? Once the site/file is genuinely clean and you have submitted the request, most are resolved within a few days. 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.
