Hello,

Thank you for contacting support.

As we mentioned before, this file doesn’t contain any malware and it’s a false positive. This file is part of the update routine of the plugin and it’s required.

Our developers checked the file when it was first reported and confirmed to us that this is a false positive and that statement hasn’t changed since then.

Wordfence simply includes one URL that is inside the file in the blocklist but that doesn’t mean the file is infected with malware.

We cannot change this file because it’s required in our plugin.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

We are glad that everything has been sorted out.

Please feel free to reach out to us again in case you need any other assistance.
