 * Hi Developer:
 * Sitelock found a malware on this plugin, can you please let us know if this is
   something serious? I have attached the report below:

 * The fact that your site was hacked does not implicate this plugin in any way 
   as the vector for the hack as opposed to being a victim of it. You need to start
   working your way through these resources:

 * Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your
   site again.

 * Hi Brejen2014,
 * I’m sorry if you have an instance of Malware on your website. Either way this
   is a Google server file you are presenting, and not a plugin file – so I’m confused
   as to what might be the issue.
 * The plugin is not infected –
 * Please update us here if you have updated information on this issue.
 * Thanks! Rob
