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)".
For users of McAfee 2007 Products:
- Doubleclick the SecurityCenter icon in the system tray
- Click "Computer and Files"
- Click "Configure" on the box to the right
- Click "Script Scanning protection is enabled" (Note: If script scanning is already disabled, the item will not say enabled but disabled and it is OK to just leave it.)
- Select "Off" and close the window
WARNING: Some versions of McAfee software, not just the 2007 version, may warn you that your virus protection is disabled or requires attention. It is OK to ignore this warning.
I personally just want to note that my "McAfee Internet Security 2007" has never alerted me to a Messenger Plus! Script...with script scanning enabled. If you're not receiving an alert for scripts, I would
leave protection on.
