While all fixed the spam comments problem, for instance, none of them were able to prevent spam messages to be sent through my contact forms. Having tried several well-known plugins that were rated among the best ones, and being very unhappy with the quantity of spam messages I received on a daily basis, I decided to install WP Cerber Security, Anti-Spam & Malware Scan, and gave it a try: BEST DECISION EVER!!! It got rid of everything, from the spam messages I kept receiving to my inbox, to the security issues and malicious activities. It took less than 10 minutes to customize the settings, and then I was done. If you are having similar issues, do yourself a favor and install this plugin: you won’t regret it!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f0bc7d4013fad2b0cdac8452f2bbd9b2f1a312489762ed766069aa4384cbae06? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfectly made](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfectly-made-2/)󠁿 [catovit](https://profiles.wordpress.org/catovit/) August 5, 2022 Many thanks for your excellent work! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3854f1a0840e8cb82d5fe4b62ee09ce5a94189ee51f749cbc748052c3b4ee1c2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing! What to do without it?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-what-to-do-without-it/)󠁿 [Carlos Muslera](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carlosmusleragmailcom/) August 2, 2022 It is superb! There are so many attacks going on that I wonder what could I do without this plugin. The dashboard gives access to tools to block IPs which can be uploaded in a list after seeing any mean activity. Moreover, WP Cerber blocks suspicious activities on his own. Thanks people! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/13d4d19db21068f9047905213f1913d62c84df74469c4e3f729c212a3bcd246d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-9397/)󠁿 [crebawebmaster](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crebawebmaster/) July 24, 2022 Works a lot better than the free version of Sucuri. Will definitely get the premium version once we are ready to integrate the more sensitive modules of our site. Thank you so much to the developers! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/65673b1b31e87471999a7614d107e7e061a38bf72191d149c66c1b943124e09c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[You deserve it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-deserve-it-18/)󠁿 [ucscode](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ucscode/) July 22, 2022 This plugin is amazing. It unveils most activities of hackers and tries very much to prevent succession. I really love it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ece0c4033961a1091712ae10c96b78863ce04ad381aa1a17abc47004dfbff63d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-34598/)󠁿 [Md Anik Mahmud Chowdhury](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anuchowdhury/) July 16, 2022 loved this plugin… [ Read all 595 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-cerber/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP Cerber Security, Anti-spam & Malware Scan” is open source software.
