During a mundane night of blogging, I was stirred from my reverie by a McAfee alert suggest I was under attack by a trojan, specifically a VBSPsyme VirusSDcan Alert.

It was all hands to battle stations there for awhile, until I realized McAfee was being triggered when I tried to run specific aspects of my Wordpress installation: uploading an image, or swapping from the Visual to the HTML editor.

Upon further investigation, I determined the problem to be the following combination: the Exec-PHP plugin using the Wordpress 3.2.x platform.

If you are having this problem, obviously you won’t want to roll back your Wordpress installation to resolve this issue.

The solution is to simply switch to the PHP Execution plugin. It does the exact same thing, without causing McAfee to throw up a false positive.
