Modified plugin file warning

    Received a security warning about your plugin.

    The warning is worded as follows:

    “Details: This file belongs to plugin “Stop Spammers” version “2024.3” and has been modified from the file that is distributed by www.ads-software.com for this version. Please use the link to see how the file has changed. If you have modified this file yourself, you can safely ignore this warning. If you see a lot of changed files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade. Doing this is a workaround for plugin authors who don’t manage their code correctly.”

    When checking to see the differences, I noticed that an additional description has been added that is confusing to say the least.

    ORIGINAL Description:
    “Description: Secure your WordPress sites and stop spam dead in its tracks. Designed to secure your website immediately.”

    NOW CHANGED TO:
    “Description: Secure your WordPress sites and stop spam dead in its tracks. Designed to secure your website immediately. Enhance your visitors’ UX with 50+ configurable options, an allow access form, and a testing tool.”

    Please explain?
