Possible false positives?

    Last night I got two ‘Known threats’ that I did not have before (like a month ago).
    They concern the plugins ‘Support candy’ and ‘WPCode Lite’ (insert headers and footers)

    It is about these two files. I completely removed both plugins via FTP and after re-installing them both warnings came back when running an extra check. Could it be they are ‘false positives’?

    Thanks for reporting this! I have confirmed this False Positive and corrected the last definition update with a new definition just released (version P6FEO). After downloading the new definitions please run the scan again and confirm that it no longer finds and flags these files as Known Threats.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for reporting this issue!

    Hi,

    I ran the check again, and no more issues. Thanks for the quick response.
