Please re-install the WP Cerber plugin from scratch. It seems one of its files was corrupted. Always install WP Cerber from our official repository: https://wpcerber.com/installation/

To guarantee the integrity and security of your WordPress, it is crucial that you download the WP Cerber plugin from our official repository. This ensures you are using the most up-to-date and secure version of the plugin, free from modifications that could potentially compromise your website’s security.

I have gone to https://wpcerber.com/installation/ to get a fresh copy of wp-cerber 9.6.2 but there is no download available! I would like to try loading a clean copy but cannot.
Please sent an updated link to robray@gsinet.net or a zip file.

The first link on the page enables you to download the installation files of the most recent version of WP Cerber. Check out this pic:
