Support » Plugin: WP Super Cache » Ended up uninstalling it due to malware

  • I have used this plugin for ages and never had a problem. I cleaned a site up that had malware and it was fine.

    After reinstalling all plugins I get redirect malware which wants to redirect my users to a “catsndogz.org” site which is infected with a “botnet” malware. Thanks god I have anti virus software running on my pc. I uninstalled this plugin and ran the antivirus plugin on my wordpress site and malware is gone. Don’t know if is this plugin but will investigate further but meanwhile please be aware.
