 * I get the same Javascript error in IE 6 and 7, Firefox 2 and 3, and Safari 3,
   all on XP.

 * If you change “$” to “jQuery” in lines 6 & 15 of “/wp-security-scan/js/scripts.
   js” it removes that problem, but then you run into a different javascript error
   that I haven’t been able to fix yet (I’m still unexperienced with javascript 
   debugging).
 * Hopefully this is helpful to finding a fix. I’ve also contacted the plugin creator
   about this issue, and I’ll give an update here when I get a response back.
