  Hi there,

  Can you let me know which of your sites is reported as having a virus? All of your WordPress.com sites though are uninfected.

  We constantly monitor all WordPress.com hosted sites for security threats. If you visit your site in any browser you can see that it’s well secured (padlock on the address bar).

  However, it would useful if you could you provide us with SiteAdvisor’s message or even a screenshot to better evaluate the situation.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Your site is safe and virus-free. McAfee SiteAdvisor is known for incorrectly flagging websites as infected with viruses.

  I suggest contacting your site’s visitor and asking them to disable the SiteAdvisor browser extension in order to be able to view your site.
