Wordfence says site OK, SiteLock says not

    Hello Everyone;

    I may or may not have a concern depending on the information I get relating to this post.

    I have been happily using WordFence(free version) to protect my site for quite some time now and everything seemed to be working fine. (Emails relating to updating plugins, attempted logins, and completed scheduled scans).

    I got a call from SiteLock a couple of days ago saying my site is compromised and for a fee they will fix it. I reviewed the scanlog.txt file and see that clamscan has found four affected files. The log file does not state what the malware is but simply lists the files.

    In the meantime I have run multiple scans using WordFence and the results are that there is nothing wrong with my site. (And no mention of problems with the files SiteLock mentions) I have enabled the option to scan files outside the WordPress installation to try and capture more files but still no change.

    I really like the WordFence product. I have “blacklisted” IP addresses because of notification emails from the product. Everything seems to work fine to protect my site, but I am worried that perhaps WordFence is missing something that is already there.

    Suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    @wfmattr – Re-install of the WordPress went without a hitch. Things have been very quiet on my front withing the WordFence product.

    Certain sites are still getting auto-blocked and I am going to try and figure out a way to get rid of the original “admin” account so that attack vector goes away.

    I consider this situation resolved.

    Thanks again everyone.
