4 replies
I received the message below from someone who was trying to visit my site:

"When I clicked on the site in your signature it flashes on and then gets hung up by something called s1.wpstats.net. Just thought you should know."

I have contacted my host and they assure me there are no virusses on their servers, i have found some files like wp-statnet.php in my folders, i dont know how they have gotten there..there maybe malicious scripts in my source code . does anyone know how i can get rid of this s1.wpstats.net issue? i dont seem to have any problems myself when visiting my site...

    This has come up here before. See this thread:

    Definitely seems to be some sort of malicious code.

    I was able to access your site without any problems.

    Considering your site is Wordpress based ... Do you have Wordpress Stats running?

    "s1.wpstats.net" would appear to be related to Wordpress Stats. Try disabling the plugin if you are having issues.

    But again it loaded fine for me.

    Either way, you can install an antivirus plugin on your site to check it for infections and vulnerabilities. You can check it on Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.example.com as well.

    Wordpress does collect and publish stats of everything, like posts and comments. Here is the url.

    Stats — WordPress.com

    I don't use wp, so don't know, but it could be just some of the wp machinery doing its job.
