  Hi coupleu,

  To be honest I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Do you have a link to any material discussing this virus?

  With your site hosted on WordPress.com, any sort of virus can really only live in two places: on your computer, or in our system. We’re not seeing any kind of nefarious action in the WordPress.com systems right now. Did something happen on your blog that makes you suspicious of a virus in some way?

  Please let me know what we’re looking at and I’m happy to investigate. :)

  Best,

  -Alex G.

  WordPress Virus via Twitter showed up in my mail. I wasn’t sure what to make of it.

  Hi Chris,

  This sounds like either a spam email, or something from this twitter user calling themselves “WordPress Virus” but they seem to be making a play on words, that people using WordPress spreads like a virus.

  Either way, not really anything to worry about.

  Best,

  -Alex G.
