Thank you for your support!

Below is a list of what I plan to do with your contributions. Many of these idea's were requested by users and I am more than happy to hear about any ideas you may have. So hear they are, in no particular order:

• Add a scheduling agent so that you can setup regular scan at set intervals and receive an email report if threats are found.
• Add an easy way for you to report a specific file to me for closer examination when you find some malicious code that my plugin missed.
• Make registration optional so you can download the definition updates without registering the plugin.
• Add a JavaScript method to the login patch for when the session method is not available.
• Create a list of professionals who are available for hire to remove malware if extra help is needed.
• Check for new files that don't belong when running the Core Files Check to remove files that have been added to the wp-includes or wp-admin.
• Create a non-WordPress-wrapper or CLI for people with infections on a non-WordPress site or for when your WordPress admin is not working.
• Update the definitions of Known Threats as new malicious threats are discovered.

I will update this list when I hear your thoughts and suggestions too.

Here are a few of the major updates I was able to complete in the with past donations:

• Added a Database scan to find and remove any malicious code injected directly into your content.
• Added a Core Files Check to scan for any changes to WordPress files and restore them if any are found.
• Added the ability to change the admin username if the current username is "admin".
• Moved the quarantine files into the database and deleted the old directory in uploads.

Aloha and Mahalo,

• You are still rocking! Thank you and keep up good work!

  hello i want to know 3 things:
  1. if i make a donation, all the sites that i install with the free version i have to do something else or automatically the plugin is configured?
  2. what are the differences when making a donation compared to the free version?
  3. the brute force protection option comes up with an error, (Your server could not login!) is this because i am using the free version?
  pd: do you have support in spanish?

    I am sorry but it's just me for support and I don't speak Spanish.

    One donation will unlock all the current premium features on all the sites that you have registered under the same account, so please be sure to use the same email address when registering each site so that they are all on the same account.

    The premium features include automatic updates which will install the core file definitions once enabled, and also the Brute-Force Login Protection, however the error message you are getting will still prevent you form using this login protection even after your donation. So, you will still need to address the issues on your server that are causing the login protection to fail.

    There are two errors that you might get that would prevent you from enabling the Brute-Force Login Protection:
    If you see "Your Server could not start a Session!" that means that a persistent session could not be established on the server, and you should check the "session.save_path" value in your php.ini file and make sure that the path is writable by the web-server user.
    Alternatively, you might have gotten the error "No response from server!", which means that the server did not respond to the ajax script requested to check for a valid session. You may need to check your error_log files on the server to see why that call to the admin-ajax.php file failed.

    Either of those error will require a better understanding of your server configuration and the ability to troubleshoot configuration issues on the server. You may need your hosting provider to help you diagnose this cause of these issues and find a solution. I am will to help you troubleshoot the issue further but I will need more information from you or your hosting support team or direct access to your server to troubleshoot the issue myself.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance. You can email me directly with any info that might be too sensitive to post online.

  O acesso ao meu site está apresentando mensagem de Site Perigoso, em todos os navegadores, passei a varredura do plugin e ele não encontrou nada, tenho que doar para que ele consiga fazer a limpeza? (tenho a intenção de fazer a doação, minha pergunta é somente para saber se isso é imprescindivel)

    Desculpe pela tradução do Google, mas não falo português.

    Fazer uma doação não é essencial para a funcionalidade do meu plugin, mas ajuda o projeto a se manter ativo e atualizado.

    Você precisa se registrar para baixar as atualizações de definição mais recentes. As definições mais recentes são essenciais para a verificação encontrar as ameaças mais recentes.

    Certifique-se também de estar executando a verificação completa em todo o site e não apenas no diretório do plugin.

    Sorry for the Google Translation, but I don't speak Portuguese

    It is not essential to the functionality of my plugin to make a donation, but it does help the project stay active and current.

    You do need to register to download the latest definition updates though. The latest defintions are essential to the scan finding the latest threats.

    Also make sure that you are running the Complete Scan on your whole site and not just on the plugin directory.

      I don't speak English, sorry for the Google Translate, but how do I run a full scan on the entire site and not just the plugin directory?
      Which path should I follow to run a full scan?

        The second option on the Anti-malware Settings page is "What to scan:" and it might be set to "plugins". You change it to the selection above that "wp-content" to scan one folder higher, or even the top selection which should be your site's root directory (depending on your server's directory structure this top folder might be called "public_html" or "htdocs" or something like that). If that top option is selected then the Complete Scan will scan all the folders on your website and all the sub-directories too.

      Fantastic!
      All other WP malware scanners that I've tried (which don't seem to be as effective…) charge per site for their "premium" versions.
      Thank you for your great work. The only thing that would be better is if it could run automatically on a schedule – which I've seen you're working on?

        Yes, I am still working on that new feature to schedule automatic scans. I am currently testing this as a stand-alone service and will open that service up to BETA testers early next year. After it is stable and secure enough to be put into this plugin I will be working on a fully integrated solution.

    When the scan finds Known Threats they will be listed in Red. Once you click the Automatic Fix button it should tell you that those infections were fixed and then the files listed should turn Green. You can then check the Anti-Malware Quarantine page to see all the infections that have already been fix and those will be listed in Yellow, indicating that they were infected before but are now safe. If those files listed in the Quarantine are listed in Red then they have been reinfected and will need to be re-cleaned again (this also indicates that you have a persistent breech that is using and active exploit which still needs to be patched.

    Cuando el análisis encuentre amenazas conocidas, aparecerán en rojo. Una vez que haga clic en el botón Reparación automática, debería indicarle que esas infecciones se solucionaron y luego los archivos enumerados deberían volverse verdes. Luego puede consultar la página de Cuarentena antimalware para ver todas las infecciones que ya se han corregido y que aparecerán en amarillo, lo que indica que estuvieron infectadas antes pero que ahora están a salvo. Si los archivos incluidos en la cuarentena aparecen en rojo, entonces se han reinfectado y será necesario volver a limpiarlos (esto también indica que tiene una breech persistente que está utilizando un exploit activo que aún necesita ser parcheado).

    I see that you have donated through PayPal using an eCheck, this is the only method that does not give an instant payment notification because it can take a few days for the check to clear. Once the eCheck has cleared your bank and PayPal releases the funds then my site will receive the IPN and your account will be marked as Paid.

    No two security plugins are alike. My plugin has built in firewall features, as do the others you mentioned, but each of these firewall works in a different way to discern and dissuade the most common attacks, hopefully without preventing normal visitors from viewing your site. To ascertain how good of a job each plugin does at achieving this goal I suggest you look at the user reviews. I personally look at the 1-Star reviews to see what the biggest complaints are.

    As for making a donation to my project, the premium features include automatic updates which ensures that you have the latest definition installed, and the core file definitions helps with the scan speed and can also find new threats in core files that might not have otherwise been identified as malware.

    I replied to your forum post, here is what I said, I see your registration on my end so there are two likely possibilities here: either your wp-admin page has been cached and you are not seeing the live results that reflect your registration; or else you might have two or more URLs, only some of which are registered (e.g. http://veneratech.com , http://www.veneratech.com , https://veneratech.com , https://www.veneratech.com ).

    If the former just clear you cache and refresh your wp-admin page. If the latter, then simply register any additional URLs under the same email address so that they are all on the same account.

    Please email me directly with a screenshot if you need further assistance.

    Your donation was automatically associated with your account based on the key that you already registered to your domain. You can view the receipt for your donation when you login to the member page at https://gotmls.net/members/

    You should also see your donation reflected on the Anti-Malware Settings page of your own wp-admin, you may need to clear your cache before your can fully refresh that page depending on your browser and what caching plugins you have on your site.

    You registered your site twice, once using your unsecured URL (HTTP) and once using secured URL (HTTPS), each one under a different email address so they are on different account, and only one of those accounts has a donation. Try re-registering one of your URLs using the other email address so that they are both on the same account.

  Hey, I want to enable "Brute-force Protection" in the plugin but it says "(This patch only works under Apache servers and requires mod_rewrite and session_start to be active and functional)"

  So how can I find out if I'm under Apache server? Or how can I know it will work for me? I'm using WordPress. Thanks

    It should show your Apache version in the upper-right corner of the Anti-Malware Settings page in your wp-admin, just below your PHP version and above your WordPress version (unless you are running nginx or something else it will say Apache there). Compatibility is automatically checked when the Firewall Settings page is loaded so if it does not work with your system then you will not be able to click the "Install Patch" button.

  Great plugin! My blogsite was getting repeatedly infected. I paid $$$ to a self-proclaimed WordPress dev shop to get it cleaned. They took my money and claimed to have cleaned up my site but it got reinfected within hours after reinstallation. I then stumbled upon GOTMLS. I ran the plugin. It worked as advertised. 10 days later, my site is still free of infection (knock on wood!). Another thing I love about Eli S is the empathy and clarity in his communications. Anyone who is looking for a solution to a malware problem is not out on a walk in the park, to put it mildly. Unlike the brush-off tone used by many IT folks, Eli's comments totally speak to the user's state of mind.
