    Hi,

    recently I see that most of the cached files by this plugin are reported to be containing virus by the virus scanner. Is there a security vulnerability in this plugin? Even if I delete the cached files, they will again be created with virus again. The mentioned virus is ” PUA.Phishing.Bank“

    Did anyone face such problem?

  • Even I think ClamAV is detecting false positive on all cached files (WP Super Cache). In my case also detecting NextGen gallery files as infected, tough I deleted all files and reinstalled again.

    Hosting provider is closing OutBound PORT repeatedly… slowing all the websites…

    Like you guys said that ClamAV has fixed the issue… scanning my website right now in cPANEL.. Hopefully my outbound port gets unblocked ??

    Thanks you guys for raising the issue and getting it noticed to ClamAV.

    Ok. So now ClamAV is detecting NextGen Gallery plugin files (more than 10 files) as infected. BTW, it did NOT detect cached files as virus this time ??

    One of the example link

    public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_album/static/extended_settings.min.js: PUA.JS.Obfus-6

    While I am 99% sure its NOT the plugin issue because I deleted all the files and re uploaded new files.

    What do you think guys? Is it another false positive by ClamAV?

    Awaiting your feedback / suggestions.

    Thanks!

    @kris0507 Please open a new support thread in the appropriate place. The W3TC support forum is not the appropriate place, as the issue you’re having has nothing to do with the W3TC plugin.

    Hurray.. Great example of forum teamwork.
    W3TC is actually a grt plugin. Unfortunately it’s missing developer support.
    Port 80 issue resolved. But my adsense ads are not showing properly. I guess, W3TC minify changed the JS.
    Any own have any clue? https://www.trendingtop5.com

    I am also facing same issues https://prnt.sc/ebutur. My host suspect this files as infected & blocks port.

    How this files host detect as suspicious? are they really threat to my site?
    Can I White list this files so port won’t get blocks?

    Please Help..!!

    Thanks in Advance..!!
