 * Unable to access wp-admin. Trying to activate GOTMLS programmatically but I need
   to know the name of the ‘main file.php’ in order to do so. I don’t see such file
   in GOTMLS plugins folder. (*received a Google ‘Deceptive Site Ahead’ message).
   Or, is there another solution?

 * You can really use any WordPress plugins directly and certainly not my plugin.
   If a plugin is not integrated correctly within the WordPress architecture then
   you could simply bypass all the user security and use that plugin to exploit 
   any site it is used on.
 * f the only thing stopping you from accessing your wp-admin is a Google warning
   then you can simply ignore that warning and continue to your site. Just be sure
   to go straight to the wp-admin and run the Complete Scan with the latest definition
   updates ASAP to clean any threats on your site before they spread.
 * Also, be careful not to click on or accept any suspicious popup requests from
   your site that might be trying to redirect you to another site or infect you 
   with malicious downloads.

 * Thank you. Running scan. Latest definitions didn’t download. Also tried to donate
   but it says page (paypal) doesn’t exist. Will try again after scan.

 * If the PayPal link doesn’t work then you probably have an old version of the 
   plugin with the old link. You should upgrade to the latest verson of the plugin
   and then make sure to download the latest definitions too, otherwise your scan
   may be missing a lot of newer threats.
