I'm curious, how do you guys deal with malware and other harmful site viruses? Maybe your site has malware you didn't intend on, and someone may have hacked your site. I've never had to deal with something like this, but a friend who ran a cheap site, ended up having a virus outbreak come from his site.

Has anything like this happened to your site?

How I deal with malware and other viruses that tends to attack my website is by employing very good hackers on my website that will be dealing with this virus is a malwares because it is only hackers than knows how this malwares works and operates.
 
I also use a 32 bit operating system and I am not sure if any Anti-malware software would run on my computer. I tried to download one but the download failed. I would be glad if someone can suggest me a great, free anti-malware software that I could run on my 32 bit operating system.
 
I remember once there was a malware in our office website that I think came from one in the forum that posted a link. When the link was clicked the malware was installed. The website designer has a contract for such issues so we forwarded the problem to them and in a few minutes the site was restored with a clean version.
 
That is why it is important to know that quality should come first, not looking at the money as that may confuse one but having a well refined website would be difficult to hack.

Nothing like this has ever happens to any of my sites that I owned. I believe if such should happen, there are a lot of free and paid plugins or softwares that can effectively deal with the situation

I think that this is why it is so important to have an up to date malware and antivirus that is able to constantly check and scan the site and that it should be set in order to scan every day at the very least.
