    Dear Miguras,

    I did buy your plugin and , hands down, a very good results.
    However since I installed it, my hosting provider report a malware.
    I’m sure is a false positive because my Anti-Malvare protection (Malcare) does not detect it, and on top of that i downloaded the supposed infected file and scanned it with avast and same result, no malware.
    I decided to try uploading the file to Virustotal and only Clamav report a malware (Clamav is the virus engine for linux hosting as you probably know).
    For this I’m sure is a false positive.
    I have to add that I use Autoptimize and I tried to de-activated it but no success….when I deactivate Divi section Enhancer the problem goes away….
    Can you take a look?

    looking forward to hear from you.

    Angelo

    Hello @bangelo123 I’m totally sure it’s a false positive, because all libraries included on my plugin are safe and obviously i didn’t add any weird code. Also, after i read this, i uploaded the file to virustotal, as you did it, and i got 0/56. so i can’t tell you why you got that false positive. I read your support thread on autoptimize, and as the author tolds you, it is most likely to be a false positive.Also, as he told you, the js file generated by his plugin is a combination of your site’s original JS files, so if malware is detected in his file, also should detect the malware in the original file. Not the case, right? So it’s 99.9% for sure it’s a false positive.
