 * The wordfence plugin is reporting a virus on the file below. It seems to only
   be there while W3 TotalCache is installed.
 * I have deleted the plugin and Wordfence showed a clear report. I installed W3
   TotalCache back and the virus came back.
 * Can you check on your end, please.
 * thanks
