 * Hi, just installed this plugin and I think it is fantastic!
    It has so many great
   options, superb compared to other plugins.
 * Anyway, this is my question.
    I got infected some days ago with eval(base64_decode
   and still trying to completely clean it out, it keeps coming back (to my wp-settings.
   php, wp-config.php, other core files, keeps messing them up), so I am scanning
   my files each day with Wordfence and Anti-Malware Security and cleaning the infected
   files.
 * I deactivated those plugins now when I got this plugin, and I am not sure can
   I activate those plugins together with “All in one WP Security”, and do the scan,
   will that mess up my website?
    I know if you install 2 anti-virus programs on
   Windows, you will destroy the system, is it the same with security plugins on
   WP? Can you have 2 of them running, or it is better to first disable “All in 
   one WP Security” and then activate some other security plugin and do the scan?
 * Thank you for your thought and help!
    Regards, Mark

 * You should be able to run this plugin with those others you mentioned. However
   keep in mind that if there are some features which are similar, then they may
   clash if they are activated simultaneously.
    For example if you are using the“
   rename login page” feature from AIOWPS and you also have a similar feature activated
   in another security plugin then you may experience some unintended behaviour –
   please be mindful of that.

 * I think the most important thing at this stage for you is to make sure that you
   clean your site thoroughly. If the malware keep coming back, you may have some
   backdoor files residing somewhere on your server which are recreating the malicious
   files.
