False virus warning

Several Windows users have emailed that a Javascript file used on this site is infected with the JS/Snz.A virus. This appears to be a false positive caused by a problem with CA Anti-Virus software (also known as eTrust or Vet Anti-Virus). BigHugeLabs.com is not infected with a virus. The warning is a false positive.

Users of CA eTrust/Vet Anti-Virus may notice increased virus warnings on many websites that use complex Javascript until CA fixes the problem. Hopefully CA will issue an update quickly that corrects the problem.

I’ll post updates as they become available.

Update: CA has issued a virus definition update that fixes the problem. Update your anti-virus software if you are still seeing the warnings.

    This issue has been fixed by CA. If a visitor is still getting these alerts, they need to either do a reboot or force an update on their CA products.
