The following steps should be followed after a site/account has been cleared of malware to prevent re-infection.

You may need to contact the site developer for this.Recommendation: Update the version of the site's app to the latest version available from time to time.
Change all passwords associated with the hosting account: Access panel , FTP, Email.
Change the password of the admin user for the application used

Check additional users in the app to make sure they're valid.
Change the password of the user assigned to the database.
Achievable operation within the control panel.
Scan all workstations/devices that had access to your hosting account with an updated antivirus.
An infected workstation could infect your web hosting account in certain situations.
Clean up the account, removing old or unnecessary files, software, email accounts, subdomains, etc.
Old scripts tend to have vulnerabilities and can be the cause of the initial infection, even if they are not actively used on the site
Make a full backup of your hosting account once everything has been cleaned up and start performing periodic site backups whenever you make an important change.
Keep these backups on your local harddisk.
