 * We recently installed the Ithemes security and I must say as owner of the site
   it makes Me VERY nervous with the possibility of being locked out of my own site,
   ALSO I HAVE and use a SSL on my site HOWEVER in settings I am seeing this mesage
   
   WARNING: Your server does appear to support SSL. Using these features without
   SSL support on your server or host will cause some or all of your site to become
   unavailable. Note: When turning SSL on you will be logged out and you will have
   to log back in. This is to prevent possible cookie conflicts that could make 
   it more difficult to get in otherwise.
 * WHY am I getting this when I do have a current SSL and how do I fix this?!?!

 * Hi,
 * If you somehow get locked out, there’s always a way for you to get back in.
 * That message needs to be a little more clear. It’s basically stating that you
   do have a SSL certificate, and you can use the feature.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * Let me point out exactly where you can find information about obtaining your 
   VirusTotal public key.
 * Visit the following link [VirusTotal API key tutorial](https://ithemes.com/security/how-to-malware-scan-api-key-with-virustotal/)
   
   and read step 4.
 * (All of the above assumes you have obtained and activated a VirusTotal account
   which allows you to login on the VirusTotal website).
 * Oh and the link above is also provided in the “Malware Scanning” section on the
   iTSec Plugin Settings page …
