 * My website hosting company, Ipage, says that this file (see below) inside WP 
   Simple Fiewall is Malware. Is this correct? I recently uninstalled your plugin
   and reinstalled 4.16.1 and this file is, again, being identified as containing
   spam.

 * Thanks for the quick response. This is exactly what I thought, but wanted to 
   verify with you first. I’ve passed this along to iPage Hosting.
