An absolute piece of art!

As a WordPress developer, getting a client complaining about their site being hacked is almost a habit. It happens everyday. Recently, I’ve encountered the most severe WordPress hack, dozens of my client’s websites. Even my own sites got hacked! This plugin saved my time, effort, and money.

You need to run the complete scan and rest assured, it will scan the files and database for any malware and SQL injections.

If you have happen to be in a similar situation, do the following steps and I’ll explain why:

1. Take a complete backup. Especially, if your site has important data.
2. Install and activate the following plugins: MalCare, Breeze, and this Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall
3. First, activate the MalCare plugin, it will perform a complete scan and tell you, without a doubt, if your site is hacked. It also will set up a protective shield and prevent bot attacks. This plugin is essential to let you know if your site is clean for real or not. If your site is hacked, you will need to carry on to the next steps otherwise, no need to.
4. Second, run a complete scan using this plugin for which I’m writing the review. If you find any malicious threats, go ahead and delete them. I didn’t just quarantine the threats, I deleted them for good.
5. Third, activate Breeze. From WP Admin > Settings > Breeze > Database Options > Clean All. Sometimes, if you delete the malware, some database values will remain, triggering MalCare to mark your site Hacked. After you clean the database, it’s all set and clean.

This is the approach that made me able to clean my toughest websites. I hope this helps you as well.

My best,
