Avast Seems JWPlayer as Injection Virus


http://www.traileraddict.com/avast.png

We obfuscate the JWPlayer javascript creation code and for some reason it makes Vast think that JS:Redirector-BXI is being injected.

We can't figure out why. Any other issues with this?

Thanks
Ryan

*by the way, your selection of topics sucks now. What happened to Embedding?

Hello Ryan,

That is strange behavior. Maybe the Anti-Virus sees your method obfuscation as a means to hide malicious code. Obviously that is not the case. I assume once you place the code on a page normally it works? Do you have a sample link where we can test this internally. It could be a matter of potentially adding the lib as an exception.

Hello Ryan,

If you try the following sample code, does it still give you the error message?

I can't test personally, as I don't have AVAST. I just get a number of emails showing that's was AVAST tells them before blocking the player.

Hello Ryan,

I’ll see what I can do on my end. I have not heard any other accounts about this with AVAST but I will make note. Thank you for bringing this up to me and the team here.
