 * Hi Max MM devs,
    I looked for a way to contact you via P.M. but this support 
   forum seems the only way. I installed the free version of the MMM plugin today(
   from the WP repository), it seems to have introduced the rogue-ads malware onto
   the site. Can you check the installer file please?
 * This malware opens a new browser window on scroll/mouse-actions.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Kev,
 * Thanks for getting in touch. I’ve checked the files and there’s nothing in there
   that should do this – I think the only way it could happen is if someone guessed
   my WordPress SVN password and updated some files ‘on my behalf’, but I do not
   think that has happened. We do not have any frontend JavaScript in the free version
   that listens to scroll events (only in the Pro version for the sticky menu).
 * If you still need help, please could you get in touch through [https://www.megamenu.com/support/](https://www.megamenu.com/support/)(
   use WPSupport as the licence key) and provide a link to your site?
