Hi all,
Couple of lads in here using IE and Norton Antivirus 2009 have suddenly
had popups in our intranet declaring that an intrusion attempt has been
blocked and a file has been prevented from running. The source of this
supposed intrusion? A compressed jQuery - can't remember which version
it is.
Norton is now preventing any of our sites that use jQuery (which,
believe me, is quite a few) from executing jQuery based code on at least
one of these computers.
The details:
Risk name: HTTP Acrobat PDF file suspicious download
File: jquery.js
Network traffic from <site address> matches the signature of a known attack.
We've been running NAV 2009 on three machines in here for quite a few
weeks now - I use Firefox and NAV (not through personal choice, I might
add), and haven't seen this error pop up.
Anyone got any ideas how to reverse Norton's stance on this? Surely it
HAS to be a false positive but now we've got two machines that won't run
jQuery as a result!
Regards,
Michael Price
