   I am using the thickbox plugin on 2.8.5.

   With no changes, today Kaspersky starting reporting a trojan. I removed it and tried to redownload and cannot because again it is reporting the trojan in the zip file.

   The requested URL could not be retrieved

   While trying to retrieve the URL:

   http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/
   thickbox.1.4.zip

   The following error was encountered:

   The requested object is INFECTED with the following viruses: Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.bxv

   Please contact your service provider if you consider it incorrect.

   I have contacted the author.

   it is incorrect - a false positive
   I downloaded and extracted with no problems
   no trojans

   Yes, this is a problem, as of this afternoon Kaspersky will flag that trojan error on any pages where Thickbox is used, even at the original source: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/

   I have used Thickbox extensively through client sites throughout the years, so will be looking into this problem

   Looks like it has stopped happening?

   I just did an online scan at http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus of the thickbox.1.4.zip mentioned above and it came back clean.
