 * After updating User Registration Pro to v4.1.4, a Defender Pro scan pulled up
   a suspicious code warning for the below string. The second line beginning with“&
   keys_a” was marked as the suspicious portion. Is this a false positive, or is
   it something that will be addressed in a forthcoming update?
 * Thanks.
 * // ASCII characters for code A (ASCII 00 – 95)
 * $keys_a = ‘ !”#$°&\’ ()*+, -/0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPORSTUVWXYZ[I^_’;
 * $keys_a . = chr(0).chr(1).chr(2).chr(3).chr(4).chr(5).chr(6).chr(7).chr(8).chr(
   9);
 * $keys_a .= chr(10).chr(11).chr(12).chr(13).chr(14).chr(15).chr(16).chr(17).chr(
   18).chr(19
 * $keys_a .= chr(20).chr (21).chr (22).chr(23).chr (24).chr (25).chr(26).chr (27).
   chr(28).chr(29 $keys_a .= chr(30).chr (31);
