Free malware scan gives no file or admin alert
The free scan reports malware without naming the infected file or plugin and does not alert the site admin.

What's going wrong
Some owners using the free tier of this WordPress security plugin say its scanner reports that malware exists but does not show which plugin or file is infected. Some also report that the plugin detected the infection without informing the site administrator. Without a location, owners cannot judge the risk, check whether the detection is real, or clean the infection by hand, and without an alert they may discover damage only after it has spread. Small sites without a developer on call are most exposed. This leaves room for an alert and reporting layer that turns generic detections into a precise list of affected files and notifies the owner right away.
