    Hi, yes that is a false positive detection. There are many installs of our plugin in thousands of websites. If there was a virus in the plugin’s zipped folder others would have reported it.

    Can you carry out a test. If you have a local install of WordPress using Xampp or Mamp, run a virus test using Windows or Mac virus detection software.

    Let me know what happens.

    Kind regards

    We’ve been using this plugin in 100s of our client’s site since sometime now.

    Actually background story is, we had a client whose site was infected so I was running one by one scan of each plugin that was installed in the site with “Virustotal”.
    Thats when I noticed this – not 100% confirmed as only 2 of them indicated this.

    But I’d definitely recommend you to check from your side too- what might be triggering this.

    Until our team is 100% sure about this, we’re going with the alternatives.

    Thank You!

    Hi,
    There is no malicious code in this plugin. This must be a false positive.
    I have contacted those vendors giving the false positive result to sort this out.
