RE: Virus' In Scripts
All the scripts in the scripts database should be safe, but only install scripts from the forums if you know it's safe.

If the script has an auto-updater, that could be what's being picked up as a virus, as it happened to me, yet the script was perfectly safe. So just be a bit cautious in regards to that.

I don't think that is it. You probably got it from somewhere else. All scripts are looked at before being put up on the scripts database. And besides who her even wants to spread malware/adware around? Menthix:

True. But deep down, we all know.
ShawnZ is incharge.

Some scripts will cause a false warning from some virusscanners indeed. Most of the time this is caused because the script is accessing the internet, for example to do an auto-update, but it can be for other things too.
See "My virus scanner says the script is suspicious?" on the bottom of the scripts help page.

RE: Virus' In Scripts
are there any scripts that actually have a virus? is there a way of detecting such scripts especially the ones on the forum

If there are scripts with viruses here, your anti-virus software will detect it and remove it. If you have a script blocker, that is.
And probably the thread will quickly be removed from the forum I guess. |

but there are scripts that cause false warning as MenthiX said how would you know if its a warning or not ?  Careful don't summon the fail whale. |
