 * The plugin installed and I was able to activate it. But the “Generate API Key”
   step never appeared. This is all new to me, so I may have missed something. But
   the plugin does not appear to be doing anything. There is no Settings to check.
   Just Activate and Deactivate. My site already has malware, so I really need to
   figure this out. Thanks.

 * Once the plugin is active you should see a new icon on the WordPress sidebar 
   like this one [1] which includes the links to the dashboard, firewall, last-login
   and setting pages.

 * I do see the new icon. Dumb oversight on my part. Thank you.
