MalCare Premium

Cloud scanning for connected WordPress websites

MalCare Premium is a paid security service for WordPress websites. Install the add-on, make an account, and connect the website to the service. An account is required because scanning and related processing execute on MalCare servers. Scans check files and the database, with automatic daily scans and on-demand scans available. The scanning method is designed to identify complex malware without slowing the WordPress website. The dashboard can show vulnerability alerts, malware insights, and details about hacked files.

Free protection and Premium controls

The free service includes cloud-based scanning, a site firewall, and CAPTCHA-based login protection. Firewall rules update every seven days in the free tier and every five minutes with Premium. Premium includes country-based access restrictions, WordPress hardening controls, malware removal, and personalized support by email and chat.

• Inspect malware insights and hacked-file details.
• Use one-click malware removal and automatic, unlimited cleanups.
• Restrict access by country with geo-blocking.
• Apply WordPress hardening options from the dashboard.

The firewall can block bots and malicious traffic. Ongoing infections may call for additional security measures alongside cleanup.

Dashboard oversight for owners and agencies

The website management module brings connected sites into one dashboard. It includes add-on and theme management, user and team controls, uptime monitoring, and site-speed checks. Agencies can use the paid white-label option and generate client reports.

Connect a site and review alerts

Install the WordPress plugin, set up a MalCare account, and connect the site. Configure security settings from the dashboard, then review alerts, firewall activity, performance information, and malware details as needed. If malware is identified, inspect the affected file details and use the available removal or cleanup utilities. Premium support is available by email and chat; the free service lists support through the WordPress forum.
