Is Yomi (Yoroi) flagging your website or file?
If Yomi (Yoroi) is flagging your site or a file — often showing up as “Yomi Hunter” / “Yomi” sandbox verdicts (VirusTotal multisandbox) — 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 Yomi (Yoroi)
Yomi is a sandbox; dispute its verdict by email. Submit here: yomi-false-positives@yoroi.company (email)
- Note the Yomi submission/analysis (sample SHA-256 or yomi.yoroi.company submission ID).
- Email yomi-false-positives@yoroi.company.
- Include the SHA-256/submission link and explain why the verdict is wrong.
- Attach supporting evidence.
- Await re-analysis.
Good to know: Email-only; Yomi is a file/URL sandbox feeding VirusTotal, so detections are sample-based rather than a standalone website blacklist.
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 Yomi (Yoroi) 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.

Evidence to include with a Yomi review
Save the Yomi report identifier or verdict, SHA-256, analysis date and the behaviors that caused concern. Explain why those behaviors are expected for this specific file and environment.
Before submitting
Focus on reproducible behavior rather than a general claim that the file is safe. Note signing, installer, updater or administrative actions that can look suspicious in a sandbox.
- Save the exact detection and affected URL, hostname or file hash.
- Rule out a real compromise and document what was checked or cleaned.
- Send one complete case through the route documented above.
- Retest the same indicator after the review.
