 * Hi,
   I am letting WordFence scan outside my WordPress installation as well. I 
   have Perfex CRM running outside the WP install and it has all been fine for years.
   But the last month WordFence started flagging 3 fonts as critical. They are a
   false positives, at least as far as I can tell. I sacnned them locally with Kaspersky
   as well just to make sure and they are fine.Is there a place I can email these
   three fonts so the people at WordFence can check them and mark them as false 
   positives?

 * Hi [@martin1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martin1/)
 * Thank you for the update. I got them.
 * The scan result is expected:
 * **Description: Raw compressed zlib file – occasionally used to store fonts or
   exports but may be an IOC (Indicator of Compromise)**
 * So it is describing them accurately that they may be font files, which they are,
   so therefore you can use the **IGNORE **option in the scan results.

 * But why doesn’t it flag all the other .z files? Only these three ones? That’s
   what confused me.
