Hello,

I tried PHP File Change Scanner for the first time, on my three sites and got 204, 148 and 141 possible threats. Wasn't to happy about that. Sites been up and running about a year or so.

What can I do now? Is there anyway to confirm that my files are Ok, or not?

Regards,

Hello,

you have to read the results applying some judgement, please take a look at this page of the docs: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/php-file-scanner-reports.html

Most of them could be false positives, expecially if this is the first time you're running the scan.
