Tonight I have been received a rush of emails from a site I completed today and made live. The message I am receiving is "Critical file modifies on Pulse Automation Solutions
It tells me that a list of files have been changed. I have watched the files and there is no sign of any of these files having been changed. Could it be that the changes made while I was working on the site triggered this change and the notification is on a bit of a loop?

Critical files, in the context of this email, are the files most usually targeted by hackers upon successful hacking of a site. These files can also be modified for legitimate reasons, for example when you save your site's Global Configuration or when you update Joomla! or one of its templates.
You should NOT worry if you received this email after you, or another administrator you trust, performed any of the following changes on your site:
- Restored the site from a backup
- Modified the Global Configuration
- Updated Joomla!
- Updated a site template
If this message was not sent to you as the result of such a desirable and expected change please review your site immediately as this would be an indication of hacking activity.
