Description
Hi,
Cleantalk have advised me that their scanner has detected Malware in a WordPress Plugin identified below.
This plugin does not appear on my website's Dashboard list, so I presume it is part of the website itself.
Is someone able to provide me with more information about this warning, please?
Kind regards,
Alan

Hi @manalan77 - sorry for the long waiting time.
As far as I can tell this never was a real plugin but some malicious code that found it's way into your installation. Definitely it's not some core file, therefore I'm closing the case.
