Hello, when I try to click on my configuration for my Event Booking component I get the message below, and I cannot do anything. I am a total beginner and do not understand what is wrong... 

"WARNING! A third party extension is trying to silently modify your site's security settings.

Admin Tools has detected that a third party software is trying to modify its settings. This may lead to degradation of your site's security and your site getting hacked. Admin Tools has prevented this action to protect you.

Hello Peter,

this means that another extension tried to mess with Admin Tools Htaccess Maker. You should contact the developers of such extension and report the problem. If I remember correctly they should have fixed it in later version, but I'm not sure about it.
