Hello Community,

I just completed designing my online store and released the website to the public. I came to realize that my McAffee is displaying this message when I visit the website normally using Chrome. Note that this doesn’t happen while browsing with Microsoft Edge.

Previously and during development phase, I never came across this message from WebAdvisor.

Can someone explain please why this is happening and how can I ensure that my online store is not ‘cryptojacking’.

Thank you
