 * Hi.
 * Thought you might want to be aware of the following. This has to be a false positive
   and I am sure you can easily address.
 * This message flashed up when viewing a subscription form on a client’s website.
   This has not happened before. Plugin version 4.9.4 / WordPress 6.2.2
 * “We blocked this dangerous page for your protection:
   [https://redacted/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/assets/js/forms.js?ver=4.9.4](https://redacted/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/assets/js/forms.js?ver=4.9.4)
   Threat name: Trojan.GenericFCA.Script.22876Dangerous pages attempt to install
   software that can harm the device, gather personal information or operate without
   your consent.”

 * Hi. I second that emotion. Two websites triggering that same warning today (before
   and after upping from WP 6.2.1 to 6.2.2). Deactivated for now. Look forward to
   getting/finding a fix of some kind.

 * Hi, I have the same problem. Bitdefender blocking my site due there is a trojan
   warning
 * [https://www.tennistraining-online.com/wp-content/cache/min/1/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/assets/js/forms.js?ver=1684786608](https://www.tennistraining-online.com/wp-content/cache/min/1/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/assets/js/forms.js?ver=1684786608)
 * There has been no update as far as I know. But good to know Im not the only one
   here. Please help me out. Message is gone when I disable the plugin an clear 
   cache.
 * Disabled the plugin until there is a solution. It blocks my site completely duo
   I have newsletter signup in the footer.

 * Thanks for letting us know about this. 
   I’ve checked the file on your site and
   compared it to the original and they are identical. And I’ve also double checked
   our code and ran it trough Virustotal as well and did not find any virus or trojan.
   Even BitDefender (on VirusTotal) isn’t reporting any issues on that code as you
   can see here: [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8ca10aeba965d03985c6a4527132d4a3716db8d80b49168affba630dacbca907](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8ca10aeba965d03985c6a4527132d4a3716db8d80b49168affba630dacbca907)**
   In other words, I’ve confirmed this is a false-positive from BitDefender and 
   should be reported as such to them. In the meantime it’s safe to whitelist this
   file in BitDefender. Kind regards,
