 Hi,

 Cleantalk have advised me that their scanner has detected Malware in a
 WordPress Plugin identified below.

 This plugin does not appear on my website's Dashboard list, so I presume
 it is part of the website itself.

 Is someone able to provide me with more information about this warning,
 please?

 Kind regards,


 Alan
