Guys, this is a serious issue. I've had this alert popup on me when visiting a site, saying it has JS/Adware.Agent.AC (I control the website which had this alert, but we were requesting a third party script on that page). I had to disable the antivirus to see which one. Regardless...
Next I run a full system scan, just to be sure.
For the same alleged threat, the antivirus deleted from my computer SQL dumps (backups) that I have personally made a long time ago. So these were .sql files, that I have made. Even if the contents of the SQL statements would have contained shady javascript (there was HTML/JS in them), how could those have harmed my computer, being in SQL statements?
Had to stop the system scan, as who knows what else could have deleted from my computer. Not cool. You can't just delete files from my computer just because they contain obfuscated javascript. As a side note, my work has a lot of obfuscated JS in it... that I've obfuscated. Are you just going to delete my work because I need to obfuscate it?
