Can AutoRestore/Quarantine ARQ Cron be activated through phpMyAdmin?

An simple question – Can AutoRestore/Quarantine ARQ Cron be activated trough  phpMyAdmin?
My site may be hacked (after I decided update my wordpress to 4.0 – lol – that’s irony), but I know I have made back-ups, but AutoRestore/Quarantine ARQ Cron is currently turned off.

All the best,

Yes you can turn AutoRestore On or Off using phpMyAdmin.  The AutoRestore database option name and location are:

WordPress database table: xx_options
Column is option_name: bulletproof_security_options_ARCM
option value is: bps_autorestore_cron – the values are either On or Off (the first letter is capitalized)

What I suspect might have happened is that WordPress files were sent to Quarantine when you upgraded WordPress.  That can happen depending on how the WordPress upgrade was done:  ie something interfered with the AutoRestore Cron check, multiple things (WordPress, plugins, themes) were installed at the same time, the WordPress upgrade was installed remotely outside of WordPress.  Check this AutoRestore/Quarantine log file:  /wp-content/bps-backup/logs/autorestore_log.txt to see if that is what happened.  Let me know if you see that WordPress files were quarantined.
