tia,

This plugin is not visible in WordPress plugin search[1], which usually means you should NOT use this plugin. Sometimes 
the reason is that developer has decided not to develop this plugin anymore and sometimes because of WordPress 
administrators decided to hide the plugin from plugin search to avoid security issues. Version controlling trunk for 
this plugin only contains readme-file[2], but tags are still there[3]. Which version of the plugin are you using? I 
also found that they do have code in here[4].
