Just Testing

Hi guys,
Installed Shield Security onto one of my older sites yesterday, as there were problems found with 2 step verification from another plugin.
The two step Verification on this plugin works excellently, and I love the way that all spam comments are now transferred to the bin.
There’s a problem with the ‘security’ aspect though.
Got an email this morning saying that there were unrecognised files found by the unrecognised files scanner, so I went to the website back-end>>shield security>> hack guard>> URScanner with all intentions of solving this problem. However nothing in there indicated anything was wrong.
So I went over to my trusty Wordfence plugin, located the file, and deleted it from there.
With Shield having a growing reputation in security, far beyond a 2 step verification and comment spam usage, should there not be a more effective way to locate, examine and remove unrecognised files found by the scanner in the plugin itself, rather than need Wordfence to do this?

The problem with the email notification is that it was sent to my phone, which doesn’t have a login to my websites on it.
Obviously when I logged into the website with a pc, all looked well and good – except for a huge nag by Wordfence that a file needed looking at.
The file was some Javascript that was also found by Wordfence, and was deleted from the website as soon as I found it – dunno what the file was called.
Manual scan – what’s that then?
Oh, and where in the plugin are the results of any scans, manual or otherwise?
