Infected script moved to virus chest
« on: November 10, 2011, 01:08:10 AM »
Hi

Immediately going onto Huffington Post’s website this evening, I got a Script Shield red warning that a file was moved to virus chest shortly before executed.

The Shield log shows script http: //static.ak.fbcdn.net/ ...... The threat is JS:Downloader-gen@bhv(Expl). Action: Moved to Chest. Action successful.
 
Even if it was a false positive, can it be removed from the virus chest?

Well you could extract the file from Chest to a safe place and carefully submit it to www.virustotal.com to be sure.

Try browsing the viruses and worms forum or use the forum search as there was another topic yesterday about the Huffington Post detection. But I think that was the web shield, though there was no alert window image.

I was unable to check it out as I get redirected to the UK pages.
