    I have used your plugin for a long time, but my hosting company have found malicious code in 3 files, including one of yours. Can you help me to remove this code?

    Probably your web host scanner detected the pattern matching code that we use in this file for the BPS malware scanner > /wp-content/bps-backup/mscan/mscan-pattern-match.php. This file contains pattern matching code that checks for common hackers code when you run BPS MScan. So yeah it may appear to be malicious code to a scanner, but the code is used to check your website files for matching code patterns that hackers commonly use. Let me know if this is the file that your web host scanner is seeing as malicious. If your web host scanner is seeing a different file in BPS that contains malicious code then let me know which file that is.

    By the way, they accept that your file was a false positive.
