Malware blocked on en.wordpress.com, legit or false positive?


Recommended Posts

I'm logged into the back-end of a self-hosted WordPress site (not WordPress.com) and i get this pop-up from Browser Guard (see attachment). Clicking around gives no additional information. Our site is not hosted on wordpress.com.

Any idea what is causing this and/or how to resolve it?

Thanks!

Hello-

We do not show either the domain nor the IP which the domain resides on in our database, was this perhaps a Browser Guard block only?

Do the following first and see if it fixes the issue.

 

If you're having issues with Malwarebytes Browser Guard you may want to try to update the program manually.

  • Click on the extension icon

  • Click the Kebab Menu -> then Support
  • Click the Check for database updates button
  • If still having an issue then click Clear Browser Guard Storage, Restart the Browser, and check for Database Updates again
