One of WordPress ' most valuable advantages is that you can install it for free, use free plugins to add features and download free theme files to make your site look attractive. Scrupulous developers sadly released downloadable theme files with everything from undetectable spam links to malware files infecting a website once the problem has been resolved.

Download files from only sources that you know and trust to keep your website safe. Paid themes pose less risk to security than free ones. If you want free ones, however, before installing them, you must check them for malware to detect attacks that may have already occurred on your device using the antivirus software.
