EWWW Image Optimizer Shows Malware

EWWW Shows Malware

While this EWWW Image Optimizer plugin triggers malware alerts on VirusTotal, no actual harm is visible yet. However, the constant alerts raise concerns about potential risks (strongly hoping it to be fp).

Exercise caution and consider alternatives showing cleaner tests to ensure a secure website environment.

Thousands are downloading so was bit concerned. Uninstalled it while writing this.

Please remove brackets () in above urls.

Shall change rating to 4 or 5 stars after getting clarification from the developer.

Thanks
Happy New Year to All 2024
