Thanks for the tips or reminders of areas that should be re-examined. I also wish Go Daddy would update their easy install/upgrade for WordPress more often - they seem to always be a couple of dot releases behind.

Now whenever someone opens my blog, their system gets infected by malware. Google listed my blog as harmful and my rankings tanked. I then had to clean all the blog, and password protect the wp-admin directory to keep things rolling. One of my blog got hacked and it managed to install malware on my site.

Re: passwords - I use keepass to generate strong and random keywords. A simple two click process brings up Keepass, I select the sight I want to log into, and copy/paste. Hasn't failed me yet. Keep up the great work! -Enzo Good call on these security issues. Re: passwords – I use keepass to generate strong and random keywords.
