 * After installing WP Security Scan plugin, I am unable to make any changes or 
   updates to my WordPress website. Whenever I attempt to make any changes, I get
   this error message:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   491520 bytes) in /home/myusername/public_html/wp-admin/menu.php on line 235
 * What does this mean and how can I resolve the problem? I contacted my web hosting
   service and they recommended I contact the person who created the plugin. (Posted
   message in forum – no response as yet.)
 * I really need your help. Do you know why I’m getting this error message? I’m 
   just starting out and need to work on my site.
 * Thank you.
 * Corinne A.

 * Delete the plugin from your server. It looks like you account doesn’t have enough
   memory to use the plugin.
 * You can delete it by logging in via FTP to your server.

   am very appreciative of your response.
