js:scrobfs-gen

MAC OSX, suddenly started getting pop ups when using Safari and Chrome for js:scrobfs-gen as a suspect infection. Mulitple URL’s

Did a full scan and didn’t find anything related to this. Is it a legit infection or a false positive?

Disabling javascript seems to stop the pop ups.

Scan the urls and see if something is found on them.
I have a list of online scanners that you can use to do so on http://www.ache.nl

js:scrobfs-gen

Do you mean JS/ScrObf-Gen ?

Are you using Sophos antivirus? … and avast?

Avast is coming up with JS:ScrObfs-GEN (susp) from the web scanner. I’ve tried scanning with Avast and Sophos but no detection.

Odd situation - can’t get an on demand detection, do get an in use detection, and its a 2011 piece of malware. Any ideas?

Thanks
Gary

Never install multiple AV

JS:ScrObfs-GEN (susp) = Suspicious
