PS: I think they may have solved this now, and the pop up is not showing anymore.? I spoke too soon, seems it is fixed on websites with Statcounter wordpress plugins, but not for websites that are using direct Statcounter html code! Update: It now seems this has been fixed. A little strange though that a business the size of Statcounter, with millions of users, were not aware of the situation, but hopefully that has now completely eradicated the problem. Thank you to Eset, who I have used for years, and always been pleased with their product and service, and thank you to Statcounter for being open to investigation when situations like this arise. .

OK great. I have always found Statcounter to be very good over the years, so hopefully they can solve this, and that it helps them for the future also.

Marcos, what do you make of this? Thanks.

Another reply from Statcounter on this situation: Hi and thanks for your patience. I have installed Eset and visited your site and others where people say this problem happens. Eset gives me no warning or popup of any kind. Here is a screen shot showing me at your site with Eset open and all security features enabled: (removed but it was an image of my website, and did not show any virus, etc) I have also tested your site using the Google Safe Browsing tool and it reports no problems with your site or Statcounter. I have also tested your site in 2 other tools which do security checks and they report nothing. If you wish to double check my results here are the tools I used: https://app.webinspector.com/ https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/www.(removed) https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2F(removed)%2F We will continue to investigate this and try to figure out why Eset was showing this warning. All things considered if there was a problem I should see the same Eset warning and the marlware checking sites should have reported something. However this is not the case. Thanks for your patience!

I have just spoken to Statcounter, and they are blatantly denying all knowledge of this hack. Every website I own, which is a lot, that has the Statcounter code on is showing the error on the attached image:
