HT Guard – Hi-Tech Hosting Security
HT Guard / Protection / File scanning
Running on our servers

Every file checked the moment it lands on the server

A hacked site almost always starts with a file dropped quietly: a backdoor (web shell), a spam script, a fake login page. HT Guard looks at every new or changed file straight away, instead of waiting for a nightly scan.

How it works

1
The file is writtenUpload form, new plugin, update, FTP: the HT Guard agent on the server sees it immediately.
2
It is scannedChecked against known virus signatures and our own rules, written from the attacks we see on our servers.
3
The AI gives its opinion when in doubtWhen a rule is too general, the AI reads the code and says whether it is harmful. Passwords and keys are removed first.
4
The file is locked or given backHarmful: it is quarantined and can no longer run. False alarm: it is put back automatically.
