  Client reports that when some visitors go to their site, it tells the visitor that the site has a malicious virus and cannot be accessed. I ran a sucuri check and it says that the site has been blacklisted: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/drkupec.com

  Can you fix this?

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com is scanned often for malware and viruses. We also have security measures in place that prevent these types of scripts and software from being uploaded to our servers.

  Sometimes anti-virus programs are over zealous when blacklisting sites.According to the site check look it appears your site is currently blocked by SiteAdvisor (McAfee). (Screenshot)

  I would encourage you to check your external links and comment links for any suspicious links.

  Once this is done you can contact McAfee directly to see about your blacklist status. Here is an article from 2012 regarding how to contact McAfee https://blog.sucuri.net/2012/06/how-to-remove-mcafee-siteadvisor-blacklisting.html
