Hope you fix the bug that’s causing sites’ ‘potential risk’ error

    HI,
    According to PS Audio, WordPress has had a bug that for the past three days has been causing some anti-malware programs to repeatedly throw up a ‘riskware’ website block when accessing many pages at PS Audio’s website (not blocking PS Audio’s site iteself). So far, a forum thread posts at the PS Audio site have identified MBAM, Norton, McAfee and Eset as spotting it (but not Avast or Kapersky). For MBAM, the domain
    is called jquerylab.pw (95.179.178.92). For the person with Norton, the
    message was a blocking of “Form Jacking Website 73.’ I’ve found adding
    exclusions in MBAM for psaudio.com and even specific page URLs has not
    stopped it.

    The PS Audio owner ascribes it to WordPress, which is why I’m writing you, although I’m under the impression that they use Cloudfare (are the related?). Whatever the case, I hope whoever is responsible is able to get to the bottom of it quickly. Thanks,

    Hi there,

    It looks like you’re in the wrong forum. It appears that you’re referring to the open-source WordPress software and therefore you need to seek help at these forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:
