  Hi, a reader of my blog recently contacted me with this message:

  “Just wanted to give you a heads up that my Webroot Internet Security is blocking your site because it’s detected some bad mojo.

  Specifically:
  “This is a suspicious site. There is a higher than average probability that you will be exposed to malicious links or payloads.”

  Can you tell me why this might have happened and whether or not my blog is at risk?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I just visited your blog in several browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). It doesn’t look like your blog is at risk (I didn’t receive an error message). I’m not familiar with WebRoot specifically. Do you think you could grab a screenshot of the error they’re seeing and upload it to your Media Library so I can take a look?

  I’ve asked for one and will forward it on when I get it.

  Rather than forwarding it (since the forums can’t accept images), can you upload it to your Media Library? Instructions can be found here:
