What it does
MalCare is a WordPress security product with firewall, malware-scanning, login-protection and remediation features.
MalCare combines WordPress scanning, request filtering and cleanup, with scans performed on its own servers. The Free plan lists scans every seven days, vulnerability alerts and basic firewall/login protection. Protect adds daily scans and virtual patching; Repair adds malware cleanup and a post-cleanup report. Decide who can authorize cleanup and review its result, and retain a recoverable site copy.
The August 2026 policy covers MalCare together with related BlogVault services. It includes uploaded website content, sharing with service providers and retention while an account is active, with some retention after deletion for legal or other stated purposes. Review that shared-service policy before connecting a confidential site.
