 * Hi to all,
 * Just wondering if wp super cache is creating a php file inside wp-content/cache
   folder and wp-content/cache/meta folder. When I view the folder I found the following
   files:
 * >  web4@techsoftco:~/web/wp-content/cache$ ls -l
   >  total 204 drwxr-xr-x 2 web4
   > client1 4096 Mar 24 21:46 blogs -rw-r–r– 1 web4 client1 0 Mar 24 21:46 index.

 * Is this normal?
 * I have WordFence installed and it says File appears to be malicious: wp-content/
   cache/meta/wp-cache-1b91096131554b5912d353300b1946a2.php. Here’s the content 
   when I opened the file:

 * It is normal. You may contact WordFence and ask them to exclude such files created
   by this plugin (or at least ask them not to frighten others).
