JS:Feebs-A2? False positive?

Viruses and worms
1

Hey! I’m hoping to get some advice regarding a warning by avast!

It’s detecting this thing called JS:Feebs-A2 on a website I really need to use (the site has OH&S training modules I need to download and complete before I start work at this place). When it detects it, I obviously abort connection.

The owner of the site is reliable, but the particular site I’m talking about is a standalone site. I’m able to see the site fine, but when I click on a module - which requries Macromedia Flash - avast! sends off its warning.

Does anyone know anything about JS:Feebs-A2?

Hi akashifire

This could be because there is copyright protection being used and that could be detected as JS:Feebs-A2:
Do they use this: http://html-protection.qarchive.org/
Because the protection could also be used to protect malcode then this could be at the base of this FP,
upload to virustotals and give us the results,

Thanks for the responses. It was copyrighted material, so false positive.
