Hi,

Im using both Admin Toolz Pro and RsFirewall.

But now RsFirewall says these files are suspicious, because they start with a " . "
Could you tell mee of these files that i will show you right underneath this txt of they are official files or suspicious files?

media/akeeba_strapper/css/smoothness/.DS_Store
media/akeeba_strapper/css/.DS_Store
media/akeeba_strapper/img/.DS_Store
media/akeeba_strapper/js/.DS_Store
media/akeeba_strapper/less/.DS_Store
plugins/system/akgeoip/lib/vendor/maxmind-db/reader/.coveralls-phpunit.xml.dist


(i have seen these .Ds_store also in some other components, requested their feedback as well)


Kind regards

The .DS_Store files are not malicious but they are not required either. They are Microrsoft files that have to do with the image files in the folder. I don't think they were part of the distribution, they probably were created when you looked at images in the folder. Go ahead and delete them.

I don't know what exactly .coveralls-phpunit.xml.dist does but it has to do with the GeoIP database. Don't delete that one, just consider it a false positive.
