First, please break the active link to a suspect site, change the https:// to hxxps://.

- This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=194892.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools and  attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic.

Hi Be Secure,

Tested this bootstrap javascript file as HTML file inside beaker browser and it created an endless loop starting any YouTube file (starting over and over again). Then scanned it at VT and it was not detected: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/1b33e1f12cd0f22d2d913365be2a2518cc8d77ffac384b606251e810615699c1/details
Is it unicode going under the detection radar...
