Virus alert because of share buttons
-
Hi there,
I’m getting AVG virus alerts when I log into my site. It seems they’re due to the share buttons. I don’t really want to take away the share buttons, but I’m worried if AVG are giving me a virus alert, maybe Google will and deem my site dangerous.
Could you let me know if anyone else is having this issue?
Thanks
Pete

I just tried to renew my fulltraffic campaign and they’ve rejected my blog saying it has a virus!! I have no idea what is going on, but this is serious.

Well, at least I’m not alone. I’ve been reading online all morning about how to fix this issue. I’ve submitted a plea for assistance to WP Support as well. I suppose all I can do for now is disable my share buttons and wait for a reply. (sigh)

I’m getting messages from my readers saying the same thing. My blog is triggering AVG virus alerts.

Has anyone contacted AVG support? http://free.avg.com/ca-en/support
gas anyone contacted Staff? http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ -

@timethief: I contacted WordPress support just a few minutes ago. I don’t use AVG so maybe someone who does can contact them.

Good going. We Volunteers do not have backend access to blogs and cannot apply any technical fixes. Only Staff have backend access to blogs.

I contacted AVG tech support and it was not very helpful since I don’t use their products. Could someone with AVG contact them?

I reported it to AVG. They didn’t give me an immediate remedy to the problem, so I guess we just have to stay tuned.

There isn’t anything wrong on our end, so hopefully between us contact them and their customers contacting them, this may end soon.

AVG has replied and it was definitely a false-positive on their end.
Users will need to update following this guide to remove the warning: http://www.avg.com/us-en/faq.num-3271

@shamiamglam: Thanks for contacting AVG. I’m sure that helped!
staff-blorbo: Thanks for the update. I’ll pass that information on to my readers.
