Hi I receive this message daily from Cleantalk for the below files.
/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/elements/class-hooks.php
/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/hooks/functions/hooks.php
I did once accept them but they keep re-appearing. ANy suggestions please.
Many thanks
Hi there,
are you using any GP Hook Elements on the site?
Hi not that I am aware of? This happens on every install I perform on all my websites, unless it is something that happens my default? Many thanks
Hi there,
Is that the specific message you're getting? Where is it displaying? Any chance you can show us a screenshot?
Let me know :)
Hi, Thanks Tom. This happens on all my websites that use Cleantalk security. Here are the screen print links. Many thanks

Ah ok - those are false positives.
In some cases, hackers can inject eval() functions into your site, which is why security plugins scan for it.
In this case, it's perfectly safe :)
Many thanks Tom.
No problem! :)
Hi Tom
Me again. The files that we Approve keep coming back and this time we have a 'search.form' that has come back as dangerous. Any ideas?

Many thanks Jane
The hook files should be fine - the eval() function in there is necessary and not malicious.
searchform.php should not have eval() code in it - that one may be a sign of a hack.
Thanks Tom. I removed the dodgy code and all seems fine :)
Awesome :)
