 * Hi there.
    Hope you are well.
 * Please help.
    Before I purchase Wordfence, the ioha.net website has been experiencing
   hacks. I have installed backups of the site to remove them. The site is working
   again. Does Wordfence block hackers on third party plugins and plugins in general?
 * Thank you

   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@cowgirl111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cowgirl111/), thank-you 
   for getting in touch.
 * Wordfence will look after your WordPress installation using its extensive database
   of vulnerabilities, IPs and signatures to detect exploitable plugins, known current“
   bad” IPs/hostnames, and malicious files. Rules updates are released weekly for
   the free version of Wordfence.
 * Wordpress.org kindly let us use these forums to support our Wordfence free customers,
   so we’re unable to suggest further perceived benefits, or go into more detail
   about upgrading to the paid premium version.
 * Our excellent team at **presales @ wordfence . com** will be able to assist you
   if you contact them with further queries.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
