    Another malware scanner says this
    enSuspiciousThreatType
    File: wp-admin/.htaccess
    File signature: 361c2c51248f495bd1930c9f4b46b004
    Threat signature: 361c2c51248f495bd1930c9f4b46b004
    Threat name: Heur.AlienFile.gen
    Threat: Unknown file in core
    Details: Detected unknown file in core directory

    Why would it say this. I only installed BPS today on this account

    Scanners search for matching code patterns. That is why they find a lot of false positives regularly. Just the nature of malware scanners in general. Contact your web host and let them know their scanner detected something in the BPS wp-admin htaccess file so they can see which pattern matching code in their scanner is seeing something in the wp-admin htaccess file as malicious. They can then change/adjust their scanner pattern matching code so that it does not detect this particular false positive.

    You can send the full scan report using our email address on our Contact form page > https://www.ait-pro.com/contact/

    We need the file names and the exact code that was detected as malicious. If you do not have the exact code that was detected as malicious then you will need to send us the files so that we can check them for any non-BPS code.
