 * Since i installed this plugin i experienced decreasing on speed of my site, and
   after some time i started to get error messages like my site is down. I scanned
   for malware and i got this errors

 * I’m not saying that this plugin was the problem but it’s worth checking if there
   might be some problems in the files that came out in the scan results.

 * I will strongly encourage you to contact your hosting provider. There might be
   virus on your site causing infection of multiple files. As you can see number
   of plugins and even the standard WordPress theme is displayed as having dangerous
   files.

   i’ve installed the plugin , i’m not saying that the plugin is resposible for 
   it , but it’s a posibility

 * At the moment unfortunately it is not possible to test that out. The thing is
   that the plugin has undergone multiple testing on security issues. In any case
   thank you for your message and feedback.
