 * Twice in the last couple of months I’ve received an email from Godaddy flagging
   my hosting account with malware and pointing specifically to: **/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-time-capsule/Classes/DatabaseBackup.php
 * I have no reason to believe there is actually any malware associated with the
   file but thought it worthwhile to bring up for comment.

 * It looks like a false warning. Since we use exec function for taking DB backups
   they may be flagging us as a malware. Kindly ask them to whitelist it.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I don’t think there’s a practical or effective way to
   request such a thing from GoDaddy – their security checks and emails are automated
   with no way to respond. If there’s nothing you can do at your end, we’ll just
   have to ignore it.
