 * As the author states on the description page he _“creates a post\_expire column
   on the posts table”_. This is one of the worst programming technics in a WP plugin
   I’ve seen up today. It is similiar to changing the core files of WP.
 * So I’am not wondering that a virus scanner may flag this. There are other ways
   to deal with an expire date which conform with WP guidelines.
 * Despite all these interesting features I recommend not even to install this plugin.
