 * I have just updated this plugin, which has now completed locked me and all other
   users out of the back end.
 * After reading the posts in this support forum, I gather most people are in the
   same situation.
 * Has anybody come up with a fix for this yet? Even when I disable it, I still 
   cannot get into wp-admin.

 * Same concern here.
 * I had whitelisted my computer. But now when I activate the plugin I’m blacklisted.
   I change the file name and get back into the admin. Then I delete the plugin,
   change the htaccess file back to default, and delete the files in the uploads
   folder.
 * I can’t find any other plugin files stored on my computer. So I download the 
   plugin again and when I activate it I’m still blacklisted.
 * Are there other files stored in a location I haven’t found. And why aren’t they
   deleted when I delete the plugin?
 * I won’t be able to use this plugin again until this issue is resolved.

 * I would like to know that too,..
    cause after the update it kinda broke my site
   and I don’t have the option to undo the changes made, or even de-activate the
   plugin,.. :S
