Anyone here use WebsiteDefender ?
It's beta and it's new yet it can be pretty useful. It's an online tool that monitor websites for hacker activity, malware and audits the security of web sites.
You can use a single site with the free version.

ok, last weekend I forgot about this, Im going to do it on this week. Hope read me file will explain everything. I don't understand much about FTP number change
Those are permissions settings on the server. They are easily changed through your FTP client. Just right click on the directory or file and select permissions. Check the appropriate boxes. There will probably be a box on the permissions screen that shows the current selection so you can check and uncheck boxes until you have the right number and then click OK.Quote:

ok, now I understand
I am doing everything right to install BulletProof Security Plugin but when I am going to create default or secure .htaccess file, i am getting this errorQuote:

The file /home/dailytop/public_html//wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/default.htaccess is not writable or does not exist.
Check that the file is named default.htaccess and that the file exists in the /bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess master folder. If this is not the problem click here for more help info.
