My virus scanner says the script is suspicious?
Some virus scanners like McAfee sometimes report a script is suspicious, you can ignore these warnings. All the scripts in the Scripts Database have been tested before they were added. Security and privacy is important to us, we won't add any suspicious script to the DB. The reason why your virus scanner says its suspicious is simply because a script connects to the internet. A lot of the scripts will connect to the internet just to check if there is a new version available, or to get some data you requested (for example the Google Utilities script will connect to google.com). You can turn off the warning in McAfee, but keep in mind this will also disable warning for non-Plus! scripts:
* Right-click on the security-center icon in the system tray.
* Choose VirusScan -> Options.
* Under ActiveShield, click Advanced.
* Click Exploits, and uncheck the box: "Enable ScriptStopper (recommended)".
