AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall is a category-leading WordPress app with a growing review traction. It is listed in the Firewall category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 783 reviews show steady adoption but the app hasn't crossed the heavy-volume bar yet. Review accumulation at this stage tends to come from segment-specific use cases rather than universal adoption, so fit-to-stack matters more than category-leader brand recognition. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.9★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Eli — established developer track record
Cons
- −No declared third-party integrations on the listing — verify compatibility with your existing tools before installing

How Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall works
Show full descriptionShow less
Features:
Download Definition Updates to protect against new threats.
Run a Complete Scan to automatically remove known security threats, backdoor scripts, and database injections.
Firewall block SoakSoak and other malware from exploiting Revolution Slider and other plugins with known vulnerabilites.
Upgrade vulnerable versions of timthumb scripts.
Premium Features:
Patch your wp-login and XMLRPC to block Brute-Force and DDoS attacks.
Check the integrity of your WordPress Core files.
Automatically download new Definition Updates when running a Complete Scan.
Register this plugin at GOTMLS.NET and get access to new definitions of “Known Threats” and added features like Automatic Removal, plus patches for specific security vulnerabilities like old versions of timthumb. Updated definition files can be downloaded automatically within the admin once your Key is registered. Otherwise, this plugin just scans for “Potential Threats” and leaves it up to you to identify and remove the malicious ones.
NOTICE: This plugin makes calls to GOTMLS.NET to check for updates not unlike what WordPress does when checking your plugins and themes for new versions. Staying up-to-date is an essential part of any security plugin and this plugin can let you know when there are new plugin and definition update available. If you’re allergic to “phone home” scripts then don’t use this plugin (or WordPress at all for that matter).
