This plugin gave me a great heads-up about a links injected into my posts and pages. I cleaned up the 100+ pages which had between 1-7 backlinks infecting them each page. Then I decided to randomly check a few other posts that had not been flagged — and I found around 25% of the remaining 500 posts still had the infection. And Malcure didn’t find them (and still doesn’t). I have been checking and clearing them manually. Not fun, but effective. I also changed the password, updated plugins, and deleted non active and older plugins that were not updated. I don’t know how they got access, but nothing new has come through in the past few weeks. So — great plugin for warning and finding a bunch of malware. But it missed A LOT (hundreds of infections). Room for improvement but a decent tool when used with other strategies.

I am a web developer and have tried many malware removal plugins, including popular ones like Wordfence and Sucuri. However, none of them detected some unusual files that were actually malware causing regular attacks. Some of these files were in JPG format, and I wonder if this plugin detects them effectively and alerts me. The only feature I find missing is background scanning—when I close the window, the scan stops.

Sucuri create a htaccess file at wp-includes and the malcure find it suspicious. So the free version doesn’t give you the option to whitelist it. So you end up uninstalling the plugin because the developers decided that you need to buy the advanced version to remove their false positives.
