    I have had problems with malware 4-5 times the last month. Two weeks ago I downloaded the Anti-Malware and Brute-Force Security by ELI. Still, last week, was infected last week.

    This is the current versions of WP and plugins:
    WordPress, Version 4.2.2 latest
    Akismet (inactive), Version 3.1.2 latest
    Anti-Malware and Brute-Force Security by ELI, Version 4.15.27 latest
    A Page Flip Book – vPlus, Version 13.0 latest
    Featured Galleries, Version 1.4.2 latest
    Gallery by Supsystic, Version 1.2.9 latest
    Quiz Master Next, Version 4.4.1 latest
    Responsive Photo Gallery, Version 2.6 latest
    WP Statistics, Version 9.3.1 latest
    WP User Avatar, Version 2.0.2 latest

    Any thoughts on how not to be infected again?
    Thanks,

    For repeat infections the key is to track down the source of the infection. The more frequent the infection the easier it should be to find the source. Your host should provide access to the raw access_log files for your site and this can usually tell you how the infection is being initiated.

    You will need to find the changed time of the most recently infected files to determine the exact time of the infection. If you have already cleaned these files with my plugin, then just look in the Anti-Malware Quarantine for the Date Infected. If you deleted the infected files manually then you may need to wait to be reinfected. Once you have determined the exact time of the most recent infection then you can look in the access_log file for any activity around that time that might explain how the files were infected.

    If you find something new that my plugin is not detecting then please send it to me so that I can add it to my definition updates.

    You can always contact me directly: eli AT gotmls DOT net
