 Hello, we installed the following plugin last week:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/accelerated-mobile-pages/

 Usually, we take a backup once every week. However, this week when we took
 a backup from cPanel and downloaded it, we encountered an issue. The
 downloaded zip file was flagged as containing a virus by the Windows
 scanner, which led to its automatic deletion. We attempted this process
 three times, but the same issue persisted.

 We collaborated with our IT team to investigate the problem further. They
 manually removed each plugin to determine if any of them were causing the
 issue. Eventually, we discovered that the "AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile
 Pages" plugin was the source of the virus. After removing this plugin, we
 were able to download the zip file without any problems.

 Could you please check the mentioned plugin for any viruses?
