Marking non-malicious plugins as malicious

    I think it is misleading to mark a plugin as malicious simply because the plugin is a nulled version of a GPL plugin.

    Thanks for your review of Wordfence.

    Since you posted, this I’m obligated to ask a few things.
    a. If the plugin is GPL and free then why bother nulling it?
    b. If a premium (or paid) plugin is nulled then it is stealing
    c. If you believe the people you bought your nulled plugin or theme from, that it is 100% legal or is completely free of viruses, and that you know that it is essentially stolen, why exactly do you trust them?

    Take a gander at this article to read up about why you shouldn’t install a nulled theme or plugin. Ever.

    If you insist on infecting yourself, well then good luck sorting it out.
