Is there anything in the latest release of Admin Tools Pro that causes files written to /administrator/cache/_system/ or /cache/_system/? This behavior just started two days ago and RSFirewall is detecting them as malware for Possible PHP injection. The only changes were the 3.4.6 upgrade, this extension and new version of RSFirewall. (I also posted in Joomla.org forum and dropped ticket to RSJoomla).

Thanks!

Admin Tools does not write anything to cache/_system. However, Joomla! does write to that directory. It stores serialized data. Based on what we see in these files, they are a cache of the component, plugin and module parameters read off the #__extensions table. These are legitimate files. That's why our PHP File Scanner does not report them anyway.

Please note that we cannot provide support for third party software (RSFirewall). Furthermore, we cannot provide support for Admin Tools when you have multiple security extensions installed on your site – for the simple reason that there's no reasonable way to let you know if an issue is caused by our software, third party software or both.
