 * Hello, I was checking all my installed plugins with “Plugin Inspector” plugin
   and I noticed that Visitor Maps and Who’s Online triggers several unsafe warnings
   with high security risk, please try to install it and, on its setting under Plugins
   > Plugin Inspector, locate and click “Check it” on Visitor Maps and Who’s Online
   to see them. It shows some deprecated functions as well.
 * Same with Visitor Maps Geolocation Addon v. 1.0

 * Hi, thank you for reporting this finding. The plugin developer will investigate
   further these issues.

 * Working on it today, although the high risk item is a function that makes a system
   call, it is a way to get host by IP address without timeout problems. The code
   is OK, there is no vulnerability.
    If I remove that code, the IP lookups will
   timeout sometimes causing a white screen on your site and fail to load error.
 * I am not removing it.
