You could try to excise out this bit of Javascript from the page (delete the stack). In the meantime is there something we can do to work around this bug? They’re often very proactive and fast about fixing these things (lest they be held liable for defamation).

You should definitely send an email to to the malware detection software company. I’m almost 100% certain this is just a false positive.
There is a very small chance that this really is some type of malware that’s really trying hard to look like the nice foundation JS also on the page. If it is indeed a false positive, and it sure seems like it is, then it is 100% the malware detection software’s bug. Malware detection uses MD5 checksums to find malware – checksums have collisions (the same math-result comes from two different inputs) – that happened here. So my opinion is this is a bug in the malware detection software. I have hit a lot of Rapidweaver sites (my own, Gallery, sample sites) with Avast running and never had the alert on any other site.Ī malware detection agent thinks your site contains malware. That’s the one people are saying goes off on Javascript at etc. Never heard of that one looks more to be an on-line scam that tries to scare people into buying their product.

I no longer have a Windows machine but they offer a free trial of their windows product if someone would like to download and see if the alert goes off. Since I often exchange files with Windows user (even though the virus would not cause harm to a Mac, I don’t want to spread them to other users. Only to find out later that the Windows user had let their Antivirus subscription expire. It has caught windows virus on files given to me (Windows users) on email attachments and flash drives on a few times. Never have had it go off with a warning before.

My Avast software found malicious code when I clicked on the link of the Accurate Building Inspections website in the Community Gallery. I’ve gone through quiet a number of the sites on the gallery and no others get an alert. js file is causing this but what one? What product put this file on the site? I don’t get this alert all over the place, rarely does indicated a. With the exception of State of Florida, all states in the US file their police reports related to vehicles with Bu圜rash.I agree with had avsast on a my Mac for over a year and I do web research as part of my job all day long. The case in point is the website, owned by LexisNexis. In my view, the government is even worse, when it comes to privacy. This is why I don't enable AV monitoring SSL/TLS connection and remove the AV installed SSL/TLS certificate.
While it has its own security risk doing that, the AV could record all activities in plain text, including UID/PWD. The "intercepts and evaluate connections" is applied to SSL/TLS connections as well. Avast did it semi-openly and have been caught, while others may just have a few partners with non-discloser agreement in place and have not been caught as of yet. Even if it is enabled, most people wouldn't know without constantly monitoring the network connection. All of them intercepts and evaluate connections recording all of the activities and uploading the log to AV company's server is may or may not have been enabled. Pretty much every AV has this capability built-in, based on how the software works.
