Need false-positive cleared
« on: November 29, 2017, 11:30:34 AM »
Hi.

We have a basic internet speed testing web app located here: http://speedtest.mybroadband.co.za

Recently our site has been marked as infected with JS:Downloader-FFA but we firmly believe this is a false-positive and we need it cleated ASAP.

Our web app runs a script which downloads/uploads an arbitrary file to test the connection speed. None of the files are malicious.

Please advise on how we can get this resolved as quickly as possible?

Hello,
thanks for notice. Detection will be fixed in next Streaming update (~10 minutes).

Thank you very much Milos.

Was this detection automatic by algorithm or manual?

I'm just wondering how we can prevent this from happing in future.

Hello,
it was manual detection.
