This issue has been resolved as of version 5.73! This document applies to installations using version 5.72 and earlier.
The malware scanner in Security Ninja includes a few small snippets of malware and virus signatures. These snippets are safe, as they are only tiny fragments of the malicious code they represent.
These fragments allow the plugin to scan and detect harmful code effectively on your website. However, in rare cases, these snippets may trigger certain virus scanners, resulting in warnings or blocks on the plugin.
In upcoming versions of Security Ninja, we’ll be reformatting these snippets to prevent detection by other virus scanners, ensuring seamless compatibility.
If you’re experiencing this issue, please open a support ticket, and we can send you a .zip version of the plugin without these snippets for you to install.
