Good day,

I've got a message from website security monitor that on our server has appeared potentially dangerous file (see report below). It looks it belongs to Akeeba admin tools.
Please, let me know what file it is? Is there any thing worry about?

Thank you
Rudik

The GeoIP plugin requires a PHP module named bcmath to operate. This module is not available on all servers, so we have a backup file to use just in case. If the bcmath functions are available at the PHP level, it is not used.

You can extract the file from the GeoIP plugin download file and upload it to your site to make sure you have a clean copy.
