I presume that this is the 'Avast! stopped malware before it got onto my computer?' thread?

It is simple, in his well meaning, computerfreaker inadvertently posted the script in code tags which causes an alert.
I have posted and asked it be removed, and will also ask a mod to remove it...


A simple mistake, but it causes an alert...

This is the reason that when posting scripts here it is often requested that they be posted as images...

I'd like to apologize for the trouble; I was analyzing a malicious PDF file and posted the JavaScript I found. Apparently Avast! didn't like that at all; since I don't have Avast!, I didn't know anything was amiss until spg SCOTT let me know what was happening.
Fortunately, a mod got to those code tags pretty quickly, and I won't do that again.

Once again, my apologies.

Yeah, it is that hiding mod. He thinks no one sees him...but I'm pretty sure I know who it is ;D ;D
