I understand you questions and concern malware protection is a very important thing these days luckily many providers do have this. There are several web hosting companies that provide paid malware/virus scanner services for free with their reseller hosting plans. Here are a few examples:
- Fusion Arc Hosting: Fusion Arc Hosting offers a free malware scanner called Imunify360 with its reseller hosting plans. Imunify360 is a comprehensive security solution that provides real-time protection against malware, viruses, and other security threats. It includes a web application firewall (WAF), intrusion detection and protection system (IDPS), and reputation-based malware detection to provide robust protection for your website.
- InMotion Hosting: InMotion Hosting offers free malware and virus scanning with its reseller hosting plans. The scanner checks for known vulnerabilities and security threats and notifies you if any issues are found. In addition, InMotion Hosting includes a feature called "Proactive Defense" that helps to protect your website from malware, brute-force attacks, and other security threats.
- SiteGround: SiteGround provides a free malware scanner called "SG Site Scanner" with its reseller hosting plans. The scanner checks for malware, viruses, and other security threats on your website and alerts you if any issues are found. SiteGround also includes a feature called "AI Anti-Bot" that helps to protect your website from automated attacks.
- HostGator: HostGator offers a free malware scanner with its reseller hosting plans. The scanner checks for malware, viruses, and other security threats on your website and notifies you if any issues are found.

It's important to note that while these scanners can be helpful in detecting and preventing malware and other security threats, they are not foolproof. It's always a good idea to regularly backup your website and keep your software and plugins up to date to minimize the risk of security breaches.
