Google Docs JavaScript Virus

Sep 17

google-docs-js-virus

Update: I contacted AVIRA and they said that it is a FALSE alert. Their message:

The file ’2767081945-EditPageModularized_editor_base_mod.js’ has been determined to be ‘FALSE POSITIVE’. In particular this means that this file is not malicious but a false alarm. Detection is removed from our virus definition file (VDF) with the version: 7.1.6.7.” – avira

I am using Google Docs to keep my sensitive and important information so I can access it from anywhere.

Today my Avira Antivirus informed me that Google Docs Javascript has a virus. I tried to look more into the Javascript but everything is compacted and encoded there so I can’t give you more information for now. I am thinking that more unsecure browsers like Internet Explorer 6 can be vulnerable to this.

If you have more info on this, leave a comment.

    Sorry to say my friend, but even the best anti virus software can sometimes have issues.

    In this case, it’s a false positive…

    PS: and no, avira is not the best ;-)
