 * I scanned my wordpress site with your script for the first time in my life and
   I get
 *     ```
       Potential Threats
         * NOTE: These are probably not malicious scripts (but it's a good place to start looking IF your site is infected and no Known Threats were found).
       ```

 * Probably not, as the Note says “These are probably not malicious scripts”.
 * These mostly look like pretty standard plugins to me but what you need to do 
   is to download the latest definition updates first and then run the complete 
   scan again. As all those red warnings on the Anti-Malware Setting page are likely
   telling you that you are not using the latest malware definitions. If you just
   installed this plugin for the first time then you’ll need to download the definitions
   for it to be any good at finding and identifying the latest threats.
 * Once that is done then please let me know if you still have any questions about
   the scan results.
