Description
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
VirusScan Enterprise + Anti-Spyware Module 8.0.0
-Scan Engine 5200
Error given: Detected as JS/Exploit-BO Trojan
This error started being given today, we've used jquery.js for several months with no issues. This error isn't given when using Firefox, only Internet Explorer 7. The jquery.js file seems to be the only jquery file that causes this error. Isolated it this file by removing all other scripts from page. If this file is included on page this error will be thrown, even if no function calls are made.
