 * I recently migrated a WordPress site to a new Cloudways account using the Migrator.
   The migration process was quick and painless, which is great, but … the Cloudways
   Migrator added a plugin, MalCare Security, and activated it _without notifying
   me or asking me for permission to do so_.
 * Now, MalCare may be a perfectly good and useful plugin, but I sure don’t like
   a program messing with my WordPress files without my permission.
 * Can someone associated with this plugin please tell me why it does this without
   notifying the user?
