 * Hi,
 * i have installed plugin on my website, my hosting provider magicworkshost.com
   reported that following files are having malwares
 * ============================
   We have finished the scan for the account “iiddkaoh”
   and found the below-suspected files(based on Obfuscated-Base64 codes) :
 * =====
   FILE-RESULT::’/home/XXXXXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/libraries/
   freemius/includes/class-freemius.php’::2024-04-14 12:35:12::MALICIOUS_PROB_VERYHIGH_20FILE-
   RESULT::’/home/XXXXXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/libraries/freemius/
   includes/sdk/FreemiusBase.php’::2024-04-14 12:35:13::MALICIOUS_PROB_VERYHIGH_20
   =====
 * Please be aware that no one single anti-malware application will catch 100% of
   all malware on-the-wild, so scans with two or more reputable malware scanners
   is recommended. We request you download your website to your local machine if
   it is free from malware and using a paid good antivirus, perform a scan to find
   more bad files and clean them with the help of your plugin developer.
   =======
   =====================
 * can you please suggest what to do?
 * Regards,
   Sudhir Dixit

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * This is a false positive. Your scanner is apparently identifying PHP functions
   for [“base64”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64) handling. While some malware
   software also uses this (to hide itself), this is perfectly fine and valid code
   here. It’s used to generate strings that can safely be used as URL parameters.
 * You can ignore this warning.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
