XRumerTest

[pepf]

Just checked the error log and found an error from "XRumerTest".  Should I be concerned? I assume that the error means this (whatever it is) did not get in.

Any security related mod recommended to fend off this type of thing?

TIA

Have a look at this article. There are several good mods listed there as well.
