    My web site is often infected even though the “All in One WP Security” Plugin is installed and I got its site-scanner subscription. I got strong passwords and only one person access the WordPress dashboard. What can I do?

    Hi,
    A common and sometimes overlooked reason for malware infection is when the site administrator inadvertently installs an infected (or vulnerable) theme or plugin.

    Do you regularly update WordPress core and all themes and plugins?

    Do you have any themes or plugins which come from sources other than wordpress.org?
    If so are they “premium” products which are regularly maintained by the developer?

    When you first got infected, did you thoroughly clean up your site?
    It may be possible that you missed a backdoor file somewhere in the filesystem and this is re-infecting your site again.
