 * Hi,
 * we are not aware of any malicious code on our plugin. Does your scanner provide
   a reference to the exact line of code it is concerned with?

 * Honestly, I don’t know. This is a free public support forum for issues, directly
   related to the use of our plugin. Unfortunately, we cannot support you with questions
   regarding your dashboard, admin panel etc.
 * If you have general questions regarding the use of WordPress, installing plugins
   or security concerns, please post on the [public WordPress forum](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/).
