Reviews

The ONLY plugin that scans files in real-time.

Zeeshan A. Ebrel 26, 2025
I am a web developer and have tried many security plugins with millions of downloads, but none compare to MalCure. This plugin thoroughly scans all files and accurately detects malware-infected files in WordPress installations. I have used Wordfence and several other top-rated plugins, but none were able to detect the hidden infected files. Surprisingly, MalCure works exceptionally well and identifies all malware-infected files effectively.

works in the background

I always come back to this. I initiate a scan and it finds everything.
