Unidentified Advertiser wants plugin install to show ads on site, is it safe?
-
Hey guys, is it safe to download a plugin from an unidentified advertising company seeking to display ad one of my site?
According to the advertising company, after I agreed to sell banner space in our previous communication: “You should install and activate the plugin in order to display advertisement. Before making payment, advertiser must approve location of the banner. The banner will be shown on your site when you add special code to your web address”.
How dangerous is it to install this unidentified plugin? Is there a way, to find out if this plugin or “special code” (as the advertiser put it), has virus or any harmful script?
The advertising company agreed to pay $100 monthly for one ad spot, and provided me a login and password to there private area (sort of like a publisher account area), where I can download the plugin/code to install on my WordPress site. Here is a snapshot of the publisher or my account area on the advertising company’s website: Snapshot.
My site in question barely gets 100 visits per day, so am really skeptical about this advertising company, name withheld.
Any tips/advice on how to go about this is well appreciated.
