The SiteLock Virus scanner works by pulling website files from daily scans and comparing them to an industry-leading database of virus signatures to determine if there is any match between your website and known malicious code. Because this is an intensive process and it is important to avoid an impact to your website performance, the scan is done on a rolling basis, downloading a piece of your website each day. For most websites, this process completes within 30 days.
