  A reader of my blog sent me an email saying that his aniti-virus program flagged my blog as having the virus JS:Iframe-CAP. I believe this virus affects Windows machines. I have a MacIntosh. But I don’t want readers to have a problem. Is there something you can do? or I can do?

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

  Do you know what kind of anti-virus program they are running?

  They were using Avast, but I received an e-mail this evening that Avast was no longer finding a virus. This was true, both for my site and for some other WordPress blogs that the person e-mailing me said seemed to have the same problem. Either WordPress fixed the problem, or it was a “false positive”.

  It was high likely a false positive from Avast.
