unrecognized files flagged by security plugin

    My Security Shield Pro plugin keeps picking up changes to files made Amelia and is flagging them.  I included screenshots of the flagged files.  Is this normal behavior by Amelia and if so, what Amelia files should I exclude in the security plug so it stops flagging them? 

    Could these files have been flagged if my website was hacked? 

    This has happened on multiple occasions and in the past I would tell the plug in to ignore them, however I'm concerned about security. 

    I have ended up on 3 or 4 occasions just reinstalling the plug in out of concern.  I also have a situation now where I clear all cookies, clear the cache and I still see all dates for the entire year not available on the front end if I use my laptop or my smartphone.  On somebody elses device, they do not see this.  Can you point me in the right direction as to what files I need to clear to fix this?


    Thanks.

    Hi Jeff

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Unfortunately we are not familiar with this plugin so we cannot predict or explain its behavior, but we can assure you there are no security risks coming from Amelia. We have not yet encountered such issues reported by our users, I would definitely suggest contacting their support to make sure everything is in order.

    My question isn't about the plugin however.  Can you tell me if these files have changes that Amelia would normally write?

    Hi Jeff

    From what I can see on the screenshot you sent, it seems that this plugin is flagging every change made in Amelia. If you have a new customer added, if you have made any modifications to your notifications, settings, etc., so basically all these files do change when new data is stored in them but we cannot prevent this from happening.
