BPS Pro Alert! Your site does not appear to be protected by BulletProof Security

I created a new clean install of a web site yesterday, with a new database, installed BPS Pro and then proceeded to add other plugins.

When I add a plugin I get the message at the top of the page:

BPS Pro Alert! Your site does not appear to be protected by BulletProof Security. Go to the Security Modes page and click the Create secure.htaccess File AutoMagic button and Activate Root Folder BulletProof Mode. If your site is in Default Mode then it is NOT protected by BulletProof Security. Check the BPS Security Status page to view your BPS Security Status information.

and the .htaccess is placed into Quarantine.  I have to recreate it and then activate security mode.  I can’t think what I might be doing wrong. I am adding plugins (in this case the Yoast SEO plugin which is well used and trusted).

The Quarantine log message is:

Quarantined File: Root .htaccess file renamed to auto_.htaccess

Any ideas?  I was hoping that by doing a clean install things would be error free.

Using WordPress 3.9.2 and hosted on Hostgator.
