What is Quttera?
Quttera is a web security company specializing in website malware scanning, threat monitoring, and URL reputation services. Their ThreatSign platform monitors websites for malware, backdoors, and suspicious code injections. Quttera's scanner is widely used to check websites for compromises, and their URL reputation data contributes to VirusTotal and other security platforms. A Quttera flag typically indicates that malware or a backdoor was detected directly on your site.
Why Quttera flags legitimate domains
- Quttera's scanner detected malware, a backdoor, or injected malicious code on your website
- An infected WordPress plugin or theme served malicious content from your domain
- A compromised file upload script was used to place malicious files on your server
- Quttera detected obfuscated JavaScript consistent with credential-skimming malware
- Your site was serving drive-by download content injected by an attacker
What a listing means for your business
A Quttera flag signals to the security community that your website itself has been compromised, not just listed by association. This carries more weight than a reputation-based flag, as it implies active malicious content was found on your pages. Their VirusTotal contribution makes this flag visible globally.

How do I get removed from Quttera after cleaning my site?
Quttera provides a rescan and delisting process. You must first remove all malicious content, then request a rescan. Our team verifies the cleanup, submits the rescan request, and confirms the listing is removed across Quttera's network.
