 * I keep getting emails for hundreds of unrecognized files on my site…and when 
   I search the newly downloaded wordpress installation, I see they are ll VALID
   files!! What’s up? You give security warning with no details, and no way to resolve.
   and now I’m questioning the validity of the information you are giving me…what’s
   up?

 * Hello,
 * There is no malware in the unknown files. They just don’t have standard WordPress
   hashes or are placed in the wrong location. If you have more questions please
