 * I noticed that the malware scanner in the cleantalk security scanner appears 
   to scan crontab entries for anything odd; however, I would like to have the option
   to specify the scan against either crontab, or WPCron. I have found some sites
   where malware has injected an entry into WPCron for site. This shouldn’t be too
   difficult to add into the existing product
