 * Hi [@sacc2016](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sacc2016/),
 * Wordfence scans will _only_ alert you to issues and won’t remove or modify any
   files without an action from your part.
 * Could you please provide us with more information so we can further investigate?
 * Should you choose to disabled scheduled scans (which I don’t recommend):
    - Go to _Wordfence –> Options_
    - Uncheck the _“[Enable automatic scheduled scans](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options?#Enable_automatic_scheduled_scans)“_
      checkbox
