    Hi, have you added your cache files and directory to the ignore list?

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I’ve done that now and that might well sort it but it’d be better if it did scan the cache folder as exploits could be placed there presumably. And the cache files haven’t changed since 21/03/2016 so it’s odd it was repeatedly reporting them isn’t it?

    TY!

    Scanning cache folders will always report file changes because cache folders and or files change regularly.

    The files in question have not changed since 21/03/2016 but have been reported every day since as ‘changed, last changed on 21/03/2016’.

    So you are saying that those files that have not changed since 21/03/2016, have been reported as changing every day after up to the present? Does the message received produce any report of what has changed in the file?

    Can any of these files be deleted?

    I’ve not got the logs any more. Deleted. And I’ve whitelisted the folder in question. If I get some time I’ll un-whitelist it and try to duplicate the issue but yes it was reporting the same files with the same modification date/time, every day.

    It was not giving a report of what was changed.

    I suspect that they can be deleted, I have root access to the server so I could do so. Do you think deleting them might have helped?

    If I get some time I’ll do some digging.

    Thanks for your help.

    It is worth a try deleting these files. I am just curious to know what will happen.

    Thank you
