    Until we release the next version with the fix, do the following to prevent your table from growing too large due to 404 attempts:

    Open the file called wp-security-core.php and uncomment the lines with the following code:
    1) Look in the activate_handler() function and uncomment:
    wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'aiowps_daily_cron_event');

    2) Look in the deactivate_handler() function and uncomment:
    wp_clear_scheduled_hook('aiowps_daily_cron_event');

    After you’ve done that, deactivate and reactivate the AIOWPS plugin.

    Alternatively, turn off the “Enable IP Lockout For 404 Events” feature for now until the next version is released.
