 * Hi I’m getting Suspicious files for the EWWW Plugin.
 * I contacted the author and they said is because they are using binaries and it
   is ok.
 * I had selected them as approved many times and they keep coming back as Suspicious.
 * Can you please look into these and let me know if they are ok and if so how to
   stop them from being flagged after they’ve been approved?
 * Thanks you
 * Here’s an example of one of the file paths:
 * /home/*******.*********.com/********/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ewww-image-
   optimizer/binaries/cwebp-fbsd
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbinaries-for-ewww-plugin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@wynot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wynot/),
 * Please send the files for us to analyze, and we will check them. Once the files
   are approved, they will no longer appear for you. The guide is here: [https://cleantalk.org/help/files-analysis](https://cleantalk.org/help/files-analysis)

 * Hello [@wynot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wynot/) ,
   Thank you for reaching
   out!
 * We checked the files for the EWWW Image Optimizer plugin, and they are recognized
   as known plugin files in our main repository. These alerts typically happen right
   after a new plugin update (such as the recent v8.9.0 release).
   Could you please
   run a new manual scan in the CleanTalk Security plugin settings and check if 
   these files are still flagged as suspicious? If they continue to appear after
   a fresh scan.
 * Also, could you clarify when you previously approved them? According to our logs,
   the previous scans were on September 24 and October 14.
 * If the files continue to be flagged as suspicious after a new scan, please provide
   us with further details by submitting a request through our private Ticket System:
   [https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open](https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open)
 * Best regards,
