 * I have been using this plugin for ages and today, for the first time in a long
   time I took the time to revisit the settings panel in my WP Dashboard and was
   automatically redirected to searchtoolz(dot)com/?folio=623509868&bkt=10461&gkwrf
   =http%3A%2F%2Feasyfacebooksharethumbnail.com%2Finfo.html
 * I haven’t investigated further. It seemed most appropriate to let you know asap.

 * It is only compatible with wordpress 3.5.2. In this case where you are using 
   wordpress 4.0.1

 * Ok, probably good to know for anyone who has upgraded their WordPress installation
   in the last 18 months that for some reason due to the version compatibility, 
   anyone who has upgraded will be allowing the version that allows an unexpected
   redirect to a questionable third party website.
