# [Plugin: Digg Digg] Security Issue

 * Your new update creates security issues for the website. Some of the visitors
   on my website mentioned that they cannot open the website because the browser
   gives them this message:
    “Security check: looks like you are a SPAM bot. If 
   you think this is an error, please email the site owner.” I saw the message myself
   when I tried to open the site on iPad. I also saw that when I tried to use your
   google plus button. I disabled the plugin and the messages went away.
 * I do not know what you added to the plugin in the latest version but whatever
   it is it makes it unusable.

 * We haven’t added anything that I know of that would cause such a message. Do 
   you have a link to your site at all? It certainly isn’t an error message originating
   from Digg Digg itself.
 * Also found another thread mentioning the same error message. [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-check-looks-like-you-are-a-spam-bot?replies=7](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-check-looks-like-you-are-a-spam-bot?replies=7)

 * You might be right. But still deactivating your plugin fixes the problem for 
   me.
    It might be caused by a conflict between your new version of the plugin 
   with another plugin.

 * That’s a possibility. Apologise for the issues, tried to do some digging to find
   the origin of the error but not found anything yet. What other plugins do you
   have enabled on the site?

 * I also use Visual Form Builder. Is it possible that there is a conflict between
   the two?

 * The error is originating from Visual Form Builder. “Test if it’s a known SPAM
   bot”.

   Please help me guys, its killing my site.
 * The message I’m getting when I open my site is:
 * Security check: looks like you are a SPAM bot. If you think this is an error,
   please email the site owner.
