It looks like you are a forum spammer working to make Better WP Security look bad, every post you make is incredible and full of stuff that seems to have the goal of keeping novice WordPress administrators from trying this plugin. * Well, I too am a novice WordPress administrator (1 year) and I can tell everyone that by installing the Better WP Security plug-in, with all it’s holistic features is very good if your aim is not to get your WordPress site hacked. * Maybe GµårÐïåñ aims at disinformation so to have more unsecured WordPress websites.
