 * How am I supposed to know which files may contain malicious executable code? 
   Anything I’m overlooking here?

 * There should be a list at the bottom of that page.
 * Also please upgrade, you’re running an older version of Wordfence. This is not
   what the email for WF 4.0.3 looks like where we removed that ad at the top.

 * THX but I posted the entirety of that email. I already upgraded Wordfence, wasn’t
   sure the problem was fixed. Lets see if the next warnings show the files affected.

 * I do apologize, another poster alerted me to the fact that we’d forgotten to 
   remove that from another part of the code. It’s been fixed now and will go out
   with the next release which should be some time next week. In the mean time you
   can edit the following file and remove it yourself if you’d like:

 * Your earlier screenshot shows only the Scan Summary. On the same (Scan) page,
   does the New Issues section at the bottom provide any more information?
 * I don’t recall if the Scan Details window would show the error.
 * And if all else fails, turn on Debugging and see if the Scan Details window provides
   more information.

 * That screen shot is 5 months old so I cannot remember but right now it does provide
   more info…
    Its just missing from the email.

 * Thanks for the report. We have found and fixed this issue and it will be released
   in the next version of Wordfence.
 * To be clear, the issue you reported is that Wordfence did not specify the file
   that contains malicious code in the email alert. This has been fixed and will
   be released in Wordfence 5.1.6.
 * Regards,
 * Mark.
