How to Purchase an ImunifyAV+ License

Last modified: April 26, 2024

Overview

ImunifyAV provides additional security by scanning for malware on your server. If ImunifyAV finds any malware, it notifies the user in the Files tab of the ImunifyAV interface (WHM » Home » Plugins » ImunifyAV). Upgrading to ImunifyAV+ provides one-click cleanup and allows you to set up email notifications and automatic malware removal. You can install ImunifyAV for free from WHM’s Security Advisor interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Security Advisor). You can also buy a license for ImunifyAV+ from WHM’s Security Advisor interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Security Advisor) or the ImunifyAV interface (WHM » Home » Plugins » ImunifyAV).

To learn more about ImunifyAV+, visit Imunify’s official product and documentation pages.
