Every time I open a page on PH my virus program pops up and tells me that it has blocked "static.hotjar.com".

I don't get the message for any other site.

Hotjar is an analytics provider. In essence once installed on a site the system allows the site owner to see how long visitors stay on pages, what they click on, what interests them etc.

Your anti-virus maybe seeing that as a tracking/invasion of privacy issue and as such letting you know. To my knowledge, Hotjar does not allow the website owners to view any personally identifiable information.

It was very annoying as it popped up on every page. Seems to have gone away this morning.

+1 from me, I have Ghostery and Privacy Badger installed on Firefox and I never see any of this crap.
