 * Hi [@te_taipo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/te_taipo/)
 * Had an odd thing happen when navigating to settings page in Chrome (Iridium).
   Got a popup that says xss. It was caused by alert(“xss”) enclosed in script tags
   in the source code of one of the log entries. I have screen shots. Don’t see 
   a way to add them here though.

 * Thanks again. Having made sure you have the latest version of Pareto Security,
   can you check again please to see if that pop-up occurs.

 * I had to update manually because the available update doesn’t show in admin. 
   Not sure if this is because this is listed as incompatible with ClassicPress 
   in the repository.
 * I’ll give it some time before I update my other sites. Maybe it’s just a delay,
   and the update will eventually show in the admin.
 * When I deactivated, uploaded the new files, and reactivated it erased the entire
   log and reset the settings. Being the entry that caused the pop up isn’t there
   anymore, I can’t give you a definitive answer. I’ll just have to wait and see
   if it happens again.
 * Thanks for the great support.

 * Thanks for that Sean. That makes sense. Let me know if it occurs again and many
   thanks again for your attention to this issue.
