So, it is a battle of wits between macafee, wordpress and IE. Who will win? The web server, beefy and strong…been working great for a month now. IE, its a browser, it stands strong and browses websites. Or macafee…it finds problems where no problems exist…
That’s right…macafee is detecting wordpress as a virus. When I write a post, I get this error…
Script executed by iexplore.exe. Detected as JS/Exploit-BO trojan
Normally, I wouldn’t put much stock in this error message except for the fact that I write 3 to 4 posts a day and that error will generate whenever I write a post. Reports will generate on virus messages and this one will display. If corporate goes to the site, I will be had. I will not jeopardize my wordpress blog…
What is a person to do?
Install Firefox. That is right, firefox avoids this detection from macafee. I can still fly silent in the night and no errors generated. Thank god for options. Thank god for Firefox! I needed to use firefox for a long time now so it is good to finally make the switch. If anything was to force me to do so, now would be the time! Wish me luck that my 4 violations do not submarine my blogging…
