Tweet-Retweet-Post Plugin For WordPress Has A Hidden Link

I’m using WordPress 2.9.2 and the Atahualpa theme. I had a blue background on my site http://www.WindowsAndLinux.com. I added the plugin Tweet-Retweet-Post version 2.0. The Tweet-Retweet-Post icon is located in the upper right corner of the post and page area. The next day I noticed a small (12 x 24 px) white block in the upper left corner of the post and page area directly across from the Tweet-Retweet icon. I clicked on it and was taken to http://www.techtipsmaster.com which is a site with the name "Computer Tech Tips and Computer Tricks". That really surprised me. After a little investigation I found that it was directly connected to the Tweet-Retweet-Post plugin. If that plugin was active the block was there and if I disabled it the block was gone. I deleted the Tweet… plugin and checked for the white block again. It was gone. I reinstalled Tweet-Retweet and the block was back.

In conclusion, I’m not sure why the writer of the Tweet-Retweet-Post plugin would put a hidden link to that site in his/her plugin but I sure don’t like things being sneaked into my site. I won’t use it again and thought the rest of you should know about it. If you use that plugin check for the white block and please add a comment to let me know if you have the same issue.
