Thank you Gerroald for your quick response, I think I have things figured out now.
To help others that may read this thread, I think I had to recognize that the empty logs were just the plugin doing a scan of a chunk of files and finding no changes, and that also this meant that the changes that were logged on different days didn’t necessarily occur on that day, but were from updates done several days prior. Otherwise, seeing that changes were occurring daily when you are the only one who has the ability, is alarming.
I do like the feature of your pro version that allows you to compare core files with the current version core files from WordPress. I may be updating to the pro version some time in the future for this feature in particular.
thanks again
