    This might not be the proper place, but I wanted to provide some positive feedback for Wordfence, which I never heard of until this morning.

    I’m a small business owner, and as such I wear many hats, one of which is as the “IT guy”. I do all my own web page stuff, and that is where the problem creeps in.

    My businesses web page suddenly started triggering alerts from Malwarebytes for “Coinhive” mining. I certainly did not add this to my site so some jerk did!

    Very long story short I’ve done everything I could to remove this code, but I could not find it, neither could my hosting company. After trying other wordpress secutiry plugins without success I installed Wordfence. In about 15 minutes it successfully fixed my website, where everything else failed!!

    If you have this Coinhive mining problem like I did, install and let Wordfence do its thing.

    Thank you to the Wordfence developers, I’m reading and learning more about your product now!

    Take care and thanks!!

    Thanks! I’m glad you managed to clean your website both quickly and effectively using Wordfence.

    The plugin’s reviews page would be a perfect place for your nice words, you can add a review following this link.
