    Category: Trojan
    Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.
    Affected items

    Any ideas why this might alert my AV?

    Hi @robpl1,

    There is no Trojan within WooCommerce Admin and this seems like a possible false positive from your Anti Virus.

    For safety, though I’d advise uploading a fresh copy of our WooCommerce plugin just in case your site has been compromised in some wat and files have been altered.

    Thanks Stuart. I’ve been getting some weird results from my AV recently. Would you believe it listed iTunes as a PUA? 🙂

    I’ll download a fresh copy anyway.

    Hi there,

    iTunes as a PUA?! 😀
    That is certainly strange.

    Downloading a fresh copy of the WooCommerce Admin plugin is still a good idea. But if it’s also flagging things like iTunes, then that might be something you’d want to reach out to the AV devs to ask about too.

    I’m going to mark this thread as resolved. If you have any further questions, please start a new thread.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Microsoft have run their own tests, and accept it’s clean 🙂 Lets hope they fix their error.
