 * Hi [@yrisse3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yrisse3/),
 * It looks like `wp-content/plugins/wordfence/wordfence.php` is either missing 
   or PHP doesn’t have read access to that file.
 * Can you check if `wp-content/plugins/wordfence/wordfence.php` exists? And if 
   it does check the permissions set on that file?

 * Hi,
    We have just removed the wordfence plugin to find integrity of the website!
   We will look in detail what happened with your plugin, have you sent a bet in
   the last two hours?

 * Hello,
    We last night disabled your plugin and found an alternative security 
   solution. Thank you for leaving us a message when we can re-install your plugin
   with a release that works cordially Hervé

 * Hi again you guys!
 * On some hosts we’re getting reports that some files are getting erroneously removed
   upon update.
 * What fixes the issue is to simply remove and reinstall the Wordfence plugin.
 * Thanks!
