Vigilant Security Plugin With Potential for Improvement
-
I was using this plugin for a few months, but then I received an email from Malcare saying that one of my files got hacked. So no protection here. The only thing that is available in the free version is scanning, very disappointing. More over it doesn’t tell you what file is hacked.
To know that you have to buy an yearly plan which has quite a steep price. I don’t even have a way to verify which file is it and if it is indeed hacked. Maybe I changed it and it’s fine, I don’t know. All other plugins, say that my website is clean.
Kinda waste of time and lots of disappointment. Maybe if they offered a better price or at least a monthly subscription that would makes at least some sense.
****UPDATE: After Malcare support has contacted me and explained what this plugin does and does not do, I’ve upped my rating to 4 stars. There are no files hacked, the only suspicious file the system has found was a false positive, due to extra vigilance of Malcare.
Though it’s very nice that the systems tracks all unusual behaviors of other plugin, and no hacking was missed so far, I wish there was a way to examine suspicious files and tell exactly if it’s hacked or not without contacting support and worrying.
I appreciate a lot that Malcare support contacted me and helped me make sure that everything is good and explained me how everything works. Thank you.
