Download this free Anti-Malware Plugin for WordPress.

Home

This Plugin was created to help WordPress admins clean infections off their site. It was inspired by my own need to clean up one of my BlueHost accounts after a pretty bad hack (see How It All Started). It is still a work in progress and I want to add many new and exciting features. It is currently being offered completely FREE of charge, though it did take quite a lot of time and hard work to develop, test, and make nice.

This project will continue to need my energy to keep it effectively getting rid of new threats and patching new vulnerabilities. That is why I am asking anyone who can, to please make a donation to keep this project going.

Aloha,

    Yes, to some degree. There is an option to select only certain folder inside the main path options under the “What to scan” section of the Anti-Malware Setting.

    For Example: You can click on the words “wp-content” and select to scan only the themes directory, or you could click on the “plugins” link under that and select only the specific plugins that you with to scan.

      Thank you, but I am asking about folders in general. If I run a full scan, the plugin is scanning everything under public_html. Not just wp-content/admin/core. If I have a folder named acme, and all I want to is to scan acme, there is no convenient way to do that, short of enumerating scores of folders and leaving the folder name of interest out of the exclusion list.

        If you have an acme folder in the public_html directory and you only want to scan the acme folder then just click on the word “public_html” (it is a link) and this will open a popup with sub-directories, then choose the acme folder and start the Complete Scan.

    This was because your website was just upgraded to the new version of WordPress and that version was not added to my definition updates until the following day. I’m sure that the automatic update feature has downloaded those update for you by now, but I wanted to respond and let you know that I may not always have the newest versions of WordPress defined in my Core File definition within the first 24 hour of their release.

  I have same username and mail in two other websites too, but the plugin has not been activated on them. You mention that as long as we have the same email, we can activate the plugin in more than one sites. How should I proceed to activate the plugin in my other two sites?

  Ciao, sto testando il tuo plugin sul sito che purtroppo ha tanti malware ci hanno attaccati. Innanzitutto complimenti per il tuo tempo e lavoro che metti a disposizione di tutti. Sarei ben felice di poterti fare una Donazione ma il plugin non ha trovato tutti i malware rilevati con un altro sito ufficiale e quindi non li ha rimossi. Ne ha visti solo 2 ma non di alto rischio. Se mi dici che può pulire tutto il resto posso fare donazione altrimenti non mi serve. Grazie

    Look in the error_log file on your server to see what is actually causing the error.

    If you are unable to figure it out then you can remove the XMLPRC protection from your .htaccess file and see if that helps.

    The lines you want to remove start with:

  Hello!
  I love using your tool for cleaning up my infected websites. Thank You!
  However im wondering if the plugin can look for any unwanted data on the database as well, or it can only see and clean the files of the site itself (like what i see over FTP)
  If it does not check the DB, can we say that we are safe? Can you recommend something to use?

  I was testing your fantastic plugin and it found three vulnerabilities.
  /wp-content/plugins/patchstack/includes/listener.php
  /wp-content/plugins/patchstack/includes/views/access-denied-login.php
  /wp-content/plugins/patchstack/includes/views/access-denied.php

  It is the official patchstack wordpress plugin. I checked the files and could not find malware code. I think it is a false positive.

    Thanks for reporting this to me. You are correct, these are in fact False Positives. The first one was simple enough to correct, but the other two were a bit of a problem. They are not malicious but the HTML is improper, there should not be any tags between the and the tags, and it is all too common for malicious JavaScript to be injected outside the BODY tag. But I have gone ahead and whitelist this usage too. This is something that the developers of this plugin should really address to be complaint with HTML coding standards but as long as the script is not malicious and does not present a exploitable vulnerability then it is outside my scope of interest and it will be excluded from future scan using the definition updates that I have just released.

    This error indicates that the index.php file in the plugins/gotmls/images/ folder has been deleted. Some other plugin or malicious code is deleting this file which is required by my plugin and that is causing this error. You can delete and reinstall my plugin to replace any missing files but the bigger issue is to figure out what is deleting this file on all your sites.

    Once the files are all reinstalled then you can try to protect that file from being deleted by changing the permissions on the file to read-only, then you might even find out what script was trying to delete by watching the error_log files for any deletion attempts that might fail once the file is protected.

    I have experimented with this concept on other platforms and found that there are often a great many false positives. WordPress is a unique environment for this plugin because of it’s opensource nature and because it is so widely used it has become a large target for hackers and malware. A similar plugin for other popular CMS platforms would need to be customized for that specific environment to be as effective. There are already anti-malware products you can install at a server level to scan and remove malware across all platforms which are much more efficient that PHP scripts but they must be managed with more expertise. This plugin is a targeted DIY solution for non-technical website adminitrators of WordPress.

    There are ways in which you can get this plugin to scan other sites, either by embedding those sites into a sub-directory of a working WordPress installation or by creating a symlink of the site-root for another site in a WordPress site’s directory hierarchy, but I would causation you be careful with this and scrutinize the results closely.

          this function is very helpful if the scanned files are very large, scan process can be left while sleeping.

          On March 8, 2023 at 7:47 am, Anti-Malware Admin said:

          That would be a great idea if we could be 100% confident that it would be safe to quarantine all threat right when they are found. At this time I prefer to have the user review all there threats found and actively decide to fix them when they can then make sure that the site is still functioning and that non of the modification need to be reverted. I am working on a feature that will be part of a bigger update that will allow you to automatically fix threats that have already been fixed once and then have gotten reinfected, but this too is somewhat problematic because it’s not a real solution either. If the site is getting reinfected then the root cause of those infection needs to be stopped for good, not just repeatedly fix.

          It sounds like the bigger issue for you is that the complete scan is taking so long at all. You shouldn’t have to be waiting all night for the scan to finish in the first place. There are usually a few things you can tweak on your server to speed up the scan, like increasing the memory_limit in your php.ini, deleting all cache files in the scan path, and removing any unneeded themes and plugins or any other unused directories in the scan path.

You can try stopping the Apache service in your Cpanel and then replace the index.php file before it is triggered again, then restart the Apache service.

  Hi Eli

  Been using your super plugin to clean up a server, I ran it in all the websites, it found the malwares and fixed the files, but its getting affected again. So my plan is to download all the web files, scan them locally and upload them back website after another. What do you think of this approach and please suggest a good malware scanner which I can use locally in my desktop, is it possible to use yours locally?

    On November 30, 2021 at 8:15 am, Anti-Malware Admin said:

    My plugin only work inside a working install of WordPress and I would strongly recommend against installing a working copy of any infected site on your local machine. You can download the files as long as there are not executed locally and scan them with any anti-virus software but it is not likely to find anything new that way, PHP and web-based malware is very different from PC malware and so the scanning software must look for very different patterns.

    If your site is getting reinfected and the malware is coming back then there must be some backdoor or exploitable vulnerability on the live server that is letting these infection in. Try running the Complete scan again on all the sites to see if it finds the same re-infected files mostly on one site or if the infections are spread equally over all sites. This will help you determine if the threat is coming from one of your sites or if it could be a root infection of the server. Keep in mind that most shared hosting platforms don’t have any kind of protection against crossover contamination from one site to the next (sometime even from sites on other accounts on that same server that you don’t have access to). How many sites do you have on this server?

    Yes, if you install the plugin on the root site in the public_html directory then it will scan all the files in all the sub-directories, including those other sites installed in folders inside the public_html path. However, it is also a good idea to install my plugin on each of those sites individually for quicker scanning and better protection for each site.

Please ask your hosting provider to help you increase the post_max_size and and upload_max_filesize values in your php.ini file. If you and your host cannot decide what value to set these to then I could suggest that you at lease double them to start with or maybe just set them to something reasonably large like 32M or higher if you like.

  Brute-force Protection Not Installed – No response from Server

  Can you please help me regarding this?

    On May 28, 2021 at 3:33 pm, Anti-Malware Admin said:

    Thank you, I’m glad that you like the plugin.

    The message you are getting (“no response from server”) suggests that your server is not responding to the session check. There are a few server requirements for the Brute-Force Protection to work. First, your site must be hosted on a server running Apache with mod_rewrite installed. Most importantly though, your server must be capable of creating a persistent session. In other words the php function Session_start() has to successfully open a session cookie on the server and write that cookie file to the server’s temp file location. Ask you hosting provider to check these thing on the server and verify that your site is able to create a persistent session file.

    Let me know if you need any more help with this. You can also email me directly:

      If you hover over each of the file names on the list of skipped files then it will tell you why they were skipped. It sounds like you may have already cleared out the list of file extensions to skip so my guess is that the remaining 24 skipped files were empty (0 bytes) so there would be no reason to scan them. Let me know what explanation you find in the ToolTip when you hover over those items and I can help you more if there is something else going on.

  Hi there,

  Just wondering whether the “Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall” plugin for WordPress will keep getting updates since it has not been updated for a while now. Thanks!

  Regards,
  Stav

    The plugin does not need frequent updates because I offer definition updates on a regular bases that can be automatically downloaded from within the plugin. When code changes are needed or when I have a new feature to release then I will release new plugin updates but otherwise the plugin itself does not need many changes.

        Sure, you can register all your keys under the same email address so that they are all on the same account. Then just make a donation using the link in any of wp-admin pages and you will have access to the premium features on all site.

          I see your donation, thanks. The premium features are automatically enabled when you donate. If you don’t see the option to enable the automatic update feature then try clearing your cache and refreshing your wp-admin.

      The WordPress Plugins page says that the plugin is untested with the current version of WordPress. Is this true?

        No, it just says that Because I have not released a plugin update since the last WordPress release. I release frequent definition updates which are downloaded directly through the plugin so I do not need to release plugin updates that often. I have personally tested my current plugin version with the latest version of WordPress and it does work fine.

    The premium features were automatically unlocked for the key that you already registered when you made your donation. Just refresh the Anti-Malware Settings page in your wp-admin and you should see the option to enable automatic updates. Check that box and click same and it will automatically install the core files definitions. If you don’t those option then try clearing your cache and refreshing the page again. If you need more help finding it then please send me a screenshot so that I can see what might be wrong on your end.

  Hi I bought your plugin, well made a donation so i could scan core files. However wordfence is detecting this virus

  The issue type is: Backdoor:PHP/apies-hex.8825
  Description: Hex-encoded apies.org C2 domain, typically found in backdoors

  But your plugin is not and I am stuck at 99%

  Got Stuck (1) Got Stuck (2) Got Stuck (4) Got Stuck (8) Got Stuck (16) Got Stuck (32) Got Stuck (64) Got Stuck (128) Got Stuck (256) Got Stuck (512) Got Stuck (1024)

    Thanks for your donation I have just now updated the Definitions with the Core Files for the new version of WordPress 5.6, so just make sure that the Automatic Updates is set to “Yes” and then click “Save Settings” again to automatically install the definitions for the WP 5.6 Core Files.

    If you find any files that are not getting cleaned by my plugin then please email them to me so that I can add them to my definition updates.

    If you run the Complete Scan again after this latest update and it still ends at 99% with “Got Stuck …” then can you see what files are left in the Queue that are not getting scanned (click on “Selected Folders
    ” on the right of the scan progress and scroll down to see which ones are not finished)?

        You probably registered those other sites to an different email address so they are not on the same account. You can click on the registration key to open the pre-filled registration form and change the email address to match the account with your donation and click submit. Then clear your cache and refresh your wp-admin and it should show your donation

  Hej, I finally made a donation today because I was able to experience first hand what happens when you focus on other things but not on the really important ones.
  Thanks for the great work!

    This is most likely because that file is too big for your server to open and scan using the memory_limit set for all PHP processes in your php.ini file.

    There are already multiple definition that look for malicious uses of the wp_create_user function. There are also many legitimate uses for that function so I cannot just ban the use of it all together or I would break a lot of otherwise functional sites. If you have discovered a new malicious use of this function or any other malicious code, please send me the whole file that contains these malicious scripts and I will add them to my definition updates.

  I added to my donation total. Use the plugin on all my WP sites and regularly run scans. I do have a problem that my Brute Force Protection does not populate on the Firewall options at the bottom. It just runs and runs….

  Thanks for a great plugin

    Thanks for your donations!

    The issue with the Brute-force Protection could be related to the permission on the /tmp/ directory, or a partition is full, or there is something else wrong with the session_start in PHP or the rewrite rules in the .htaccess files on your server. Or it might just be a JavaScript error caused by a popup blocker or other security setting in your browser. There are so many other things too that might be interfering with your ability to enable this protection on your server, so we need more information to figure out exactly what is causing this issue for you. Can you check the Console tab in your browser’s Inspector for any errors on that page that might explain why that option won’t finish loading? There might also be an error in the error_log files on your server that may reveal more info about the problems on your server that might prevent you from using this feature.
