 * I received a notice from my web hosting company saying that spam email may have
   been sent from my website and when I investigated I found a file at this location:
 * home/etc/etc/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/assets/
   aepshjcb.php
 * Is that file part of that plugin?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpotential-malware-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Samuel,
 * That is not a file which is part of the plugin. You can download a copy of the
   plugin from the following location and compare all the files within the zip: 
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/)
 * Or alternatively you can see the file structure in GitHub: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout)
