 * Hi there,
 * This is a great plugin!
 * I recently did a malware scan with Quttera Web Malware Scanner for WordPress (
   Plugin version 3.3.4.32)
 * It came up with this
 * Severity: enMaliciousThreatType
    File: wp-content/plugins/really-simple-ssl/class-
   admin.php File signature: 8a5d8389fa53dfbfe93a554e114a2794 Threat signature: 
   65eaa6bd33bc69eda57e2f39f0ea453b Threat name: Trojan.PHP.Dropper.gen.14c Threat:
   <?php defined(‘A Details: Malicious PHP dropper
 * Could you please explain why this is being picked up as potential Malware?
 * Again, I do think this is a great plugin and suspect this is a false positive,
   but I’d just like to know if this file is part of RSSSL or not or a false positive,
   if it is the latter then it might be worth letting the folks at Quttera know 
   too.

 * Hello [@quttera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quttera/)
 * It occurs with an Internal Scanner – Default scan. So no, it’s not the high sensitivity
   scan.
 * Hope this helps

 * Thank you for the provided information.
 * Yes, this detection seems to be a false positive, we are working to whitelist
   it on our side.
 * Thank you so much for reporting this issue!
