I am in the middle of installing your Royal Theme for WordPress using your demo info. Everytime I click on the home page link my McAfee tells that a Trojan file has been detected. Does this mean that there is a Trojan somewhere in the files you have supplied! If so how do I get rid of it?
Obviously I don’t want the end user getting this message and I certainly don’t want to infect any ones PC.
I have taken a screen shot of the message.
I don’t know where the file would be as I am getting the warning when I go to the home page using firefox browser. I don’t know if it helps but the warning does not seem to come up on other pages, only the home page? and the message from McAfee reads
“About this Trojan …Detected Obfuscated Script (Trojan)”
Would it possible that one of the Javascripts would cause this reaction, if so how do I prevent my end users from seeing the same?
Not necessary this is a virus or trojan. I have same issues but with different theme.
Obfuscation is a means of “obscuring” the real meaning and intent of your javascript code. Some sites use it as an obstacle to people who want to copy/borrow their code. Other sites use it as a means to hide the actual intention of the code.
In my case it was third part plugin which disable mouse right click 🙂
Some forms of obscuration:
Automatically renaming variables to short meaningless names to make the code less readable and harder to understand.
Removing all extra whitespace and line breaks so the code is one giant long line.
Making parts of the code self-generating so that a first pass of the code runs to create the actual code that then runs to carry out the intended operation.
Uses character codes and string manipulation combined with eval rather than normal javascript code to construct the actual code that would run.
Obscuration is not by itself evil, but it can be used to try to hide an evil intent and that is probably what AVG was objecting to. It detected so much obscuration that it couldn’t tell if the javascript was attempting to do something it was trying to prevent. As such, it declared the code as unsafe by default since it can’t verify that the code seems OK.
Hope this helps 🙂
Cheers!
Hello,
Ok, looking forward to your reply.

Hi there
I turned on one of the other standard themes and the problem went away. So I changed the Royal-Theme home page to the ‘minimalist’ home page and that seems to have cured the problem. There must be a script in the standard home page that McAfee thinks is a Trojan.
Hello,
We checked your site via online tools https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/a9c61e7ad768e09623827bee344d79f2e8f5ed19102393e33cc0acf4239d6a12/analysis/1464870532/ and nothing suspicious was found.
We recommend you to contact McAfee support and request detailed information regarding malicious script.
Regards,
Eva Kemp.
