• Hello, good day, I am working locally with local wp to make my pages but today when creating a clean installation I see that the Elementor plugin has detected a trojan, I had downloaded it from the wordpress plugin section and how did it turn out? That’s it, I downloaded from the wordpress page and I got the same message that a virus was detected, I tried downloading other plugins from the page and normal, it only happened with Elementor

    Hi there,

    Protecting your website and computer system from viruses and malware requires a multi-layered approach. Here are some essential steps you can take to enhance your protection:

    1. Use reputable antivirus software: Install and regularly update reputable antivirus software on your computer. This software can detect and remove viruses, malware, and other threats from your system.
    2. Keep your software up to date: Ensure that your operating system, web browser, plugins, and other software are always up to date with the latest security patches. Many malware attacks exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software.
    3. Use strong passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and change them regularly. Avoid using easily guessable passwords like “123456” or “password.”
    4. Enable firewalls: Enable firewalls on your computer and network to monitor and control incoming and outgoing traffic. Firewalls help block unauthorized access to your system and can prevent malware from spreading.
    5. Be cautious of email attachments and links: Exercise caution when opening email attachments or clicking on links, especially if they’re from unknown or suspicious senders. Malware often spreads through email attachments and phishing links.
    6. Backup your data regularly: Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive, cloud storage, or another secure location. In the event of a malware infection or other data loss, you can restore your files from backup.
    7. Use a secure web hosting provider: Choose a reputable web hosting provider that prioritizes security and offers features like malware scanning, firewalls, and regular backups.
    8. Implement security measures on your website: If you have a website, implement security measures such as using HTTPS encryption, installing security plugins, limiting login attempts, and regularly scanning for malware.
    9. Educate yourself and your team: Stay informed about the latest security threats and educate yourself and your team about best practices for staying safe online. Training employees to recognize phishing attempts and other common tactics used by cybercriminals can help prevent malware infections.

    By implementing these measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of viruses and malware infecting your computer system and website. Remember that staying vigilant and proactive is key to maintaining a secure online environment.

    Kind regards,
