 * Will using two different security plugins cause any clashes?
    For example I like
   the sound of both “6scan-protection” and “ultimate-security-checker”, and they
   both work on WP 3.4.1 so are up to date. They are both rated as 4 out of 5 by‘

 * Does anyone have a comparison for me of these two plugins?
    I like something 
   that runs manually and gives me information in plain English not code. Not that
   experienced.

 * It seems like the both do pretty much the same thing which is scan for vulnerabilities.
 * I’m not familiar enough with either to give a recommendation but the metrics 
   should be a good guideline. Look at the volume of support questions and if they
   are being resolved as well as ratings and number of downloads.

 * There are several security plugins listed that have been widely adopted.
 * [WP Security Scan](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-security-scan/) is 
   one I use.
