Hello!
your new 404 Shield future make us a problems. We made many changes on our website and now we have a lot of 404 links. Your new feature constantly send messages which we do not want to receive. Despite the fact that it is disabled in the configuration panel(screenshot), it continues to work and add our customers to the Security Exceptions Log. Please tell, how possible to disable this option?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

as you can see in your screenshot, you have several entries in the 404 Shield field.
This means that the feature is enabled; if you want to disable it, you have to empty that field and save the configuration page.

Hi,
sorry, but after deleting the following lines and by pressing the save button after, they are not deleted and remain at the same place(screenshot).
wp-admin.php
wp-login.php
wp-content/*
wp-admin/*

Thank you very much for your report!
I was able to replicate the issue and I'm going to fix it immediately.

In the meantime, you can add some dummy text (for example somethingsomething) so the 404 Shield will never match anything.
That said, we strongly suggest you to leave if enabled, since people trying to login inside WordPress admin area on your Joomla site are definitively attackers.
