Protector – Malware Removal, Firewall & Core Repair

Description

Every day, thousands of WordPress sites are hacked. Most security plugins offer protection, but they come with a massive cost: they slow down your server with bloated features and complex settings.

Protector is different. It is a lightweight, AI-ready security layer that turns your WordPress site into a digital fortress without compromising speed. Whether you are trying to recover a hacked site or proactively defend your business, Protector delivers enterprise-grade security that anyone can configure.

With our new 1-Click Security Overview Dashboard, you can activate all recommended protections and block 98% of automated attacks in under 8 seconds.

🦠 Malware Threat Scanner & Auto-Repair

Don’t just find malware; destroy it. Our deep, recursive local scanner verifies your WordPress integrity without crashing your server:
* Core Integrity Verification: Cross-references all Core files against the official WordPress.org checksums.
* Advanced Pattern Detection: Detects suspicious code patterns (like eval, base64_decode, shell_exec) hidden in your files.
* 1-Click Auto-Repair: Found a modified core file? Click « Repair » and Protector will automatically fetch a clean, original version directly from the official WP SVN and overwrite the infected file.

🛡️ Login Fortress (Brute-Force Protection)

Hackers relentlessly target the wp-login.php page. We make it disappear.
* Secret Login URL: Hide wp-login.php completely. Any unauthorized attempt will be instantly redirected to a custom URL of your choice.
* Smart Honeypots: Inject invisible fields into your login and comment forms to trap and block spam/brute-force bots automatically.
* Block Username Scanning: Prevent attackers from discovering your admin usernames via ?author=1 enumeration.

🔒 1-Click Site Hardening

Lock down common vulnerabilities instantly:
* Security Headers: Protect against XSS, Clickjacking, and MIME-Sniffing attacks with a single toggle.
* XML-RPC Control: Disable XML-RPC completely to eliminate one of the biggest brute-force attack vectors on WordPress.
* Version Obfuscation: Hide your WordPress version from the source code so hackers can’t target known exploits.
* Restrict REST API: Block public access to endpoints that expose sensitive user data.

FAQ

How do I use the secret login URL?

  1. Go to the « Protector » menu > « Login Fortress » tab.
  2. Toggle the ‘Change your secret login URL’ option.
  3. Set your ‘Secret Login Term’ (e.g., mysecretaccess).
  4. Save changes and use your new login URL: yoursite.com/wp-login.php?mysecretaccess.

What if I forget my secret term and get locked out?

Don’t panic! You can temporarily disable the plugin by renaming the protector-security folder inside wp-content/plugins/ via FTP or your hosting File Manager. This will instantly restore the default wp-login.php access.

Will the Malware Scanner slow down my site?

No! The scanner uses AJAX-based asynchronous batch processing. This means it scans your files in small chunks, preventing server timeouts and CPU spikes, even on massive websites with thousands of files.

Eu estava há dias tentando resolver alguns problemas de acesso e segurança no meu site e não conseguia encontrar a solução. Instalei o Protector e em poucos minutos já estava tudo funcionando. A função de esconder o admin URL é excelente.
