 * I am trying to install the CleanTalk Security / Malware plugin, and I guess maybe
   it was installed before because there is a folder on my server and it is preventing
   the plugin from being installed.
 * On the ADD PLUGINS page in my WordPress site it says this: “Installation failed:
   Destination folder already exists.”
 * Can you assist?

 * I FIXED IT!
 * I went to my Plesk Server, and deleted a folder in WP CONTENTS < PLUGINS called“
   SECURITY-MALWARE” or something like that.
 * This is a fairly important thing you may want to put some sort of reply up for
   support.
