I don’t understand the people who gave this plugin anything less than 5 stars.
Last night I spent over one hour with GoDaddy including half an hour being put on hold in order to have a spamming malware removed from one of my WP websites hosted by them. In the end they quoted me $300 or something to subscribe to their one year service to deal with the problem, which is a giant rip-off if you ask me.
Anyhow I searched all over the Web before I spotted this piece of gem called Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall by Eli Scheetz. After spending half an hour understanding the product and checking out reviews of it, I went ahead and did the clean-up myself. Lo and behold, it worked like a charm! Afterwards I used GoDaddy’s premium app called “Website Security” for another round of scanning and I received this notice from GoDaddy:
Site is Malware Free, Not Blacklisted
I have just donated $15 to Eli but I WILL donate more later on if the app can stand the test of time.
Eli, thank you very much!
