Malware alert (not necessarily in IceScrum)

[northwind]

Avast is giving me an VBS:Malware-gen alert during login using Chrome as browser.
Object: http://….:8080/icescrum/stream/app?X-Atmos….(rest cut off by Avast)

This behavior does not happen using Firefox.
IceScrum version: R6-14-11 (newest)

Any thoughts?

Correction: Now also appears in Firefox and Edge, same Avast message

Just be aware if you hear of any other such problem.
At the moment we have decided that this is likely a false positive. In other words that Avast is acting up.
We have uninstalled Avast and are now running the Win10 defender and on some machines the Panda to see if this holds water.

But as of now its just a warning.

Hello,

We can confirm that it is a false positive. This url (stream/app) is used to keep your browser connected and receive notifications from your iceScrum server without refresh (Push technology).

No malware here 🙂
