MalCare Alternative That Keeps the Evidence of the Hack

MalCare scans off site and cleans in one click on paid plans. WP Freedom keeps the evidence on your server, explains each change and proves what is gone.

Cleaned In One Click. Still No Idea How They Got In

A fast cleanup gets the site back online. It does not tell you whether the way in is still open, and that is the question that decides whether you are doing this again next month. WP Freedom keeps the answer on your own server. Before it removes a file, an option, a scheduled task or an administrator account, it saves the item with its hashes and timestamps. It separates changes a real plugin update explains from changes nothing explains, then rescans and reports anything that came back.

What WP Freedom Keeps After The Cleanup

  • A copy of every removed file, option and scheduled task, with its hashes, timestamps and permissions
  • The reason each item was flagged, in plain words you can hand to a client or a host
  • A rescan that says which indicators are gone, which remain and which are new
  • An incident report of what was found, saved, done and verified

Where MalCare Is Stronger

If you look after many sites and want them in one account with push button cleanup, MalCare is built for that and WP Freedom is not. MalCare's scanning also runs on its servers, which suits small hosting plans. WP Freedom is for the cleanup where you need to know what happened: what was changed, what was saved, how to put a removed file back and whether the site is clean afterwards.
