SecureAge APEX False Positive & Blacklist Removal

Is SecureAge APEX flagging your website or file?

If SecureAge APEX is flagging your site or a file — often showing up as “Malicious” (SecureAge shows a binary Malicious/clean verdict on VirusTotal rather than named families) — 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 SecureAge APEX

Submit the flagged file through SecureAge’s false-positive form. Submit here: uav.secureage.com/falsepositive

1. Open the form.
2. Drag/drop or select the flagged file (max 30 MB).
3. Enter your email (required).
4. Add a short description of why it is a false positive.
5. Tick “Email me when submission is verified” and submit.

Good to know: Use uav.secureage.com — the older SecureAPlus report URL is dead (that product was end-of-life). SecureAge is known for slow false-positive turnaround.

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 SecureAge APEX 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.
