 * I was told by the plugin to report this, which appeared a few seconds after starting
   the scan:
 * > {“status”:”error”,”message”:”$this->files was not an array”,”data”:{“start”:
   > 250,”files”:”b:0;”}}
 * I also tried 500 or 100 files.
    Didn’t change anything.
 * Any suggestions?

 * I installed this plugin (ver 1.0.5) in two blogs (WP 3.2.1) and works just fine
   in one of them but in other one the same error pops up.
    In the first blog WP
   is installed at /WP/, in the second it is installed at the root. Is there any
   solution?
