Virus warnings with AVG / Norton

Hi,

Some sites with the milonic menu have been flagged up as containing an exploit.

Norton reports:
HTTP Malicious Javascript Encoder 5

AVG
Exploit Neosploit Toolkit (type 786) - Object was blocked

This is with the 5.828 menu build. Have checked the updates made since then and nothing mentions a fix for the above (assumed) false positive reports.

We have lots of other sites, with the exact same menu build files and none of them report the error message.

Just wondering if anyone else had heard of anything similar

Thanks

It looks like the issue is caused by the menu encoding using the eval statement. This is then being flagged as a potential malicious footprint.

Has this changed in the latest build?

Is anything being done to contact AVG / Norton to remove the false positive?

Nothing has changed with regards to eval() - it's been there for years.

You say it works fine in other websites? What are the urls?

We've not had any other complaints so I assume this is an isolated case

Is there a way to PM you the URLS as am not sure customers would want me posting their URLs associated with this issue.
