malware in theme?

[marketvex]

We installed the site a couple of weeks ago and recently downloaded wordfence for security. While performing a scan the following was found and flagged as a critical problem (possible malware).

wp-content/themes/austin/framework/option-tree/readme.txt

Have you heard of this before? Is it a false positive perhaps? Do we even need that file?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure why a text file would be flagged this way. Anyway, the file itself belongs to the popular Option Tree plugin that we use for our theme.

You can safely delete since it has no code in it and just some readme information.
