 * Im doing malware cleaning in my website and Im using plugin String Locator to
   find specific text. Whenever I do the search, like 5-10 seconds after clicking
   search button, a warning shows “Authentication failed alert”.
 * Does anyone know what is this about? Im logged in as Administrator by the way.

 * Hiya,
 * Does your site use any security plugins, front-end proxies (like CloudFlare, 
   various models of WAF and similar), or custom protection on the wp-admin screen(
   I’m here thinking a pop-up requiring you to type in a username and/or password
   before you get to the login page it self)?

 * Yes I do install iThemes. But Im already logged in as an Administrator. So I 
   didnt understand what do you try to say..
