JS:LockyDownloader [Trj]

Viruses and worms
1

Hi there Avast forum members,

I have just finished coding a currency converter application for a web page using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
When attempting to send the zipped files to an interested party in a Thunderbird email Avast blocked it,
stating that the JavaScript file was infected with JS:LockyDownloader [Trj], whatever that may be.

Scanning the JavaScript file, itself, produced no such result.

I have attached the JavaScript as a txt file.

Hi there Pondus,

thank you for those links.

Hopefully, Avast will resolve my issue one way or another.

The only problem remaining now, is deciphering the post’s Verification letters. :-\

Hi there Pondus,

thank you for your reply.

Avast have now replied and explained my problem satisfactorily.

Obviously, it was not a trojan as such but their way of saying that
email attachments that contain JavaScript files are no longer
acceptable because God’s, ooooops I mean Google’s GMail no longer
accepts them. :smiley:

Right, now I’m going to tackle the Verification code, hopefully, for
the last time. :o

If you zip and password protect files with 7zip then Gmail should not block

A alternative to sending files is FileMail >> https://www.filemail.com/

File is uploaded to filemail and reciver get a download link in mail :wink:

Hi there Pondus,

Thanks for your reply.

In future, though, I will just put my stuff,
and a link to it, on my own server. :slight_smile:
