 * Used it at work. A week or two ago we updated everything and suddenly got a malicious
   attack redirecting the site. Waited two weeks to update this on another site.
   Guess what. 10 minutes after the update happened it did it again.
    I contacted
   support and the offered to SELL ME more stuff to clean it up. TOTAL SCAM. Updates
   allow them to create back doors and do malicious redirects so they can sell you
   more stuff which probably does the same thing. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. IT IS
   A SCAM PRODUCT MEANT TO OPEN BACKDOORS IN YOUR SITE. SO here i am on a Friday
   after hours cleaning up their mess for them yay.

 * The code is open-source here [1].
 * Feel free to inspect it and if you find any piece of code that allows us to inject
   malware into your website, I will personally flight to whatever country you are
   and give you all my salary for one year. In fact, if anyone is able to find a
   backdoor in our code I will give the same prize.

 * And you sought support somewhere. Cool. You did not seek support on these forums,
   there’s no topic you created for this.
 * > I contacted support and the offered to SELL ME more stuff to clean it up.
 * And here’s where you went wrong in your review.

 * Unless you are a their customer, and you may be it’s unclear, then they do not
   owe you the time of day. You may want to set your expectations correctly. You
   are a user and you are not a customer. It’s a big difference.
 * There is no back door to this plugin and it’s not responsible for the compromise
   of your site.
 * This plugin is an interface to a service. When you install it and visit the dashboard
   settings page, it clearly says this.

 * It’s inspecting only. It’s to let you know if your site is good. That’s all. 
   If it find a problem then you’ve got some work to do.
 * Except for de-capping your review, I’m leaving it as is. Don’t yell here as that’s
   considered rude. People do read these reviews and replies. This isn’t a failure
   of this plugin, it’s a user who didn’t understand what this plugin does and how.
