 * 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?

 * Hi,
 * Yep, ideally it would pick it up in the manual scan… did you definitely run the
   same scanner as that which was sent by email?
 * What was the filename that was fixed/replaced/deleted? Do you have any exclusion
   rules in-place that would have played a role?
 * Thanks

 * 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?

 * The ‘run scanner’ link in the email will bring you directly to the manual scanner
   so you can see results.
 * If you want to run it manually, go to the Hack Guard module and click the Wizard
   tab button and you’ll see them all there.

 * Gotcha, just noticed those wizards.
 * Yeah, things in there look pretty neat, don’t they?

 * Next time you get an email notice, use the corresponding wizard and it’ll walk
   you through it. I can’t comment on what Wordfence does or what files it’ll clean.
   If you use both and get inconsistent results, you’re best to remove 1 or the 
   other. Cheers.
