    Hello,

    Thank you for the great plugin, it works out of the box in my wordpress website.

    After installing it my antivirus warns about many (more than 10) suspicious files in the /wp-content/plugins/advanced-cf7-db/admin/pdfgenerate/tcpdf/fonts/utils/src/ and other folders.

    The Suspicious Files are listed as executables and other file types posing security risks for the server.

    Please, check the screenshot here https://ibb.co/nH6w1d

    Please, let me know how to fix this.

    Looking forward to your reply

    Hi @itmonitor

    Thanks for using our plugin.

    As you defined the suspicious files in the /wp-content/plugins/advanced-cf7-db/admin/pdfgenerate/tcpdf/fonts/utils/src/ and other folders. This all are part of our plugin.

    The ‘tcpdf’ is the library which helpful for generating the PDF. We have provided related provision at export form data.

    FYI, we have already got the related issue and it will be resolved in the future version of our plugin.

    @vsourz1td Thank you! When could we expect you will launch your new version without those issues?

    Suspected exploit file

    Hello @itmonitor,

    The Locale folder contains the language fonts and it is not suspected exploit files. These are used in our plugin for different languages.

    Your system is been detecting as the files do not have the file extension mentioned.

    We are trying to implement a new library for this and will update in our new upcoming version.
