I don't know about you, but when I was securing my WordPress site, and I was researching to find out what others were doing to maintain their blog safe, I found so much information that I was confused. And some of the information was actually over the top or superstitious. People told me to rename this file, rename this folder and install these ten plugins. It appeared to be a lot of work and energy.
Installing the fix wordpress malware cleanup Scan plugin will check most of this for you, and alert you that you may have missed. Additionally, it will inform you that a user named"admin" exists.

It's also a good idea to change your password frequently - say once every six months.
Using a plugin for WordPress security makes great sense. WordPress backups need to be performed on a regular basis. Don't become a victim because of not being proactive best site about your site!
