 * Just as an FYI for anyone using the Website Defender Plugin, an email I received
   this morning from them says this plugin only scans PHP code. From experience,
   I can say it does not detect malicious code in javascript files. There are some
   neat features in this plugin, but that seems like a huge gaping hole for a security
   scanner.

 * Hi Dakwegmo,
 * We contacted you later on after you received that email that you were given wrong
   information from our support department, and we excused ourselves for this misinformation.
 * As explained later on, we do not scan only PHP code, far from it. Also, please
   note that WebsiteDefender is still in BETA and currently we are working on several
   improvements on the malware databases.
 * We would appreciate if you do not distribute incorrect information, and again
   thank you for showing interest in our product.
 * Regards,
    WebsiteDefender Team

 * So does it scan or does it _not_ scan for *.js vulnerabilities…..?
