# About Sentinel Anti-malware

Sentinel combines the proven detection power of Linux Malware Detect (LMD) and ClamAV with a streamlined Plesk interface. Protect client websites, eliminate manual malware cleanup, and reduce support costs—all while maintaining enterprise-grade security without the administrative overhead.

Leveraging real-time threat intelligence from network intrusion detection, community databases, and user submissions, Sentinel identifies and neutralizes active web application threats before they compromise your infrastructure or damage your reputation.

Traditional antivirus focuses on operating system internals, leaving shared hosting environments vulnerable to PHP shells, JavaScript injectors, and web application-layer threats. Sentinel bridges this gap by targeting user-account-level malware—the primary vector for modern hosting attacks—ensuring comprehensive protection that standard AV simply cannot provide.
