1) Script Title: Rainbow Links Script
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/rainbow.htm
3) Describe problem: On the forum I run, two members have told me that their antivirus programs have begun to register the remotely hosted script as malware/spyware (starting yesterday). I'm not quite sure why it's doing this, as I've used the code for years, and I've had the script remotely hosted myself on ripway.com for a month. I also tried rehosting the js file under a different name, and that didn't help.
Neither I nor a friend have this problem however; we're not getting the malware notice. My friend and I use firefox web browser, I have Norton Antivirus and she has McAffee. I do know one of the two members to experience this problem uses IE web browser and Kasperksy for their antivirus, and the other uses firefox and also Kasperksy.
This is the site: http://myhiddensecrets.proboards.com/index.cgi
The part of the script in question that's being labeled as malware: <script src="http://h1.ripway.com/fadedangel/rainbow2.js">
I removed the code for now as my members were concerned, but I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me... I love the code, and I don't understand why people are being told it's malware. Could it just be Kasperksy is thinking ripway is a bad site?
