  Hi there,

  That trojan ended up affecting users who had the jQuery Migrate plugin installed. Your site is on a free plan on WordPress.com which doesn’t allow the installation of plugins. So, unless you have a self-hosted WordPress site or another site with a paid plan which would allow plugins, I am not sure how that virus would have ended up on your computer. It’s definitely not from boppapoopy.Wordpress.com

  Hope that helps.
