 * Please check. Or suggest me how to block it.

 * This issue is completely unrelated to this plugin. Your site has been hacked 
   via some other theme or plugin and it is installing something malicious that 
   happens to use the same name as this plugin. This plugin is a feature plugin 
   for WordPress core and partially supported by WordPress.org.
 * Please contact your host or post on the general support forums for help identifying
   the real issue.

 * He’s right, hackers are trying to get into WordPress blogs through that plugin
   even if I don’t have it. I have some logs of this.
