 * I suffered a malware attack which got my site banned on Goggle. The issue has
   been resolved and the malware has been removed, but I am now real serious about
   web site security.
 * I have already installed BulletProof Security (I saw it first).
 * Does that progrmam do the same things as Better WP Security or do they serve 
   the same functions?
 * Are they both compatible or should I pick one of the two instead of perhaps being
   overly cautious and installing both of them on the same site?
 * Thanks much.

 * Last time I used BulletProof Better WP Security did most of the same functions
   with .htaccess blocking and a whole lot things Bulletproof didn’t.
 * That said, I have heard some folks have seen incompatibilities but I cannot confirm
   anything with 100% certainty.
 * Do you know how your site was compromised? If it was at the application level,
   meaning through WordPress itself, then your best bet will be to turn on as much
   as you can and test it yourself. If it was through your host however all the 
   security plugins for WordPress currently on the market probably won’t help you.
 * Only you know what works best with your configuration and what might provide 
   extra security for someone else might bring your site to a screeching halt. This
   is just the nature of the game. The idea is to lock down everything you don’t
   need and allow only what you do need. The trick is everyone’s sites have different
   needs.
 * I hope this helps a little bit and I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions
   you have on the plugin.
