 * While scanning using the security plugin ‘Anti-Malware from GOTMLS.NET’, a scan
   returned ‘Read/Write Errors’ for the following:
 * /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/dirs.php
 * Can I ignore this, or is there something I should tweak?
 * Thanks for any help

 * Contact Form 7 doesn’t have the file “dirs.php”. Where did you download the plugin
   from?

 * Thank you for answering.
 * I’ve had a lot of problems recently, I was with FastDomain (Bluehost), and understand
   they got hacked, a couple of days later my account picked up malicious files.
   Since then I’ve changed to a great hosting company who have been fantastic with
   their support. But… I’m paranoid and I’m being very careful, hence doing the 
   scanning.
 * I’ve now deleted the plugin and will reinstate it shortly. If you want to know
   what code is in the above file, then please ask.
 * As from where I downloaded the plugin, it would have been from the WP depositary
   through the back of wordpress. Although I did a clean reinstall of WP when I 
   changed servers, I copied the old wp-content dir. The suspect file was probably
   was deposited during the hacking.
