The first WordPress virus????

    I didn’t even get as far as seeing how this plugin behaved on my Woocommerce product images because I noticed that as soon as I installed and activated it I got a system ‘warning’ that my THEME had a new required plugin – for a support ticket system.

    As I’d just updated the theme I thought perhaps it was a genuine message until I checked with the theme developer to find out that there were no required plugins and no new support ticket functionality in the theme.

    Guess what – the plugin was another plugin by this developer.

    How dare you hijack my site and masquerade as the installed theme

    Stealth-ware at its worst

    UNINSTALLED
