 * I’ve just installed Wordfence and have tried to run my first scan. It will not
   complete. I am getting the following messages:
 * **Scan Summery Box**
    Scanning comments for URL’s in Google’s Safe Browsing List
 * Scan Detailed Activity Box
    Scan can’t continue – stored data not found after
   a fork. Got type: boolean
 * After two hours this morning, I aborted the scan and it’s now been countering
   away again for the last hour or so with exactly the same result.
