supportHi. Our host’s virus scanner is signalling about malware, and is pointing the finger at the smooth-page-scroll plugin. Our programmer suggests deleting the plugin, but I would like to keep it. Any suggestions as to why this should be? Can you point me to a solution? Thanks.
Hi @kreeden My plugin is definitely not malware, and I have no idea why the virus scanner would detect it as such. Because of that, I’m not able to give a direct solution for this, but are there any more details? Does the scanner point out why it’s considered malware, or which part of the code it’s tripping over?
Hey @kreeden I’ve identified what made have triggered the virus scanner. I’m fixing this now and (once reviewed by WordPress’ plugin team) this fix will be included in the plugin’s next update.
1.4 is now released. Hopefully this will not trigger your host’s virus scanner anymore. 🙂
Brilliant. Looks great! Will keep you posted.
