Virus detected in process-palette? #76

Open bidspells opened 5 years ago

bidspells commented 5 years ago

Hi,

since yesterday, my virus detector (Sophos) detects a problem in the following file: $(home)/.atom/packages/process-palette/node_modules/flatmap-stream/index.min.js

...and puts the respective file into quarantine. The threat is classified as: "Troj/Bckdoor-AL".

What could be the reason?

Best regards, Erik

There's a post on the Atom forum about this.

Malicious code was introduced into flatmap-stream, and has since been investigated and removed. Simply deleting the folder .atom/packages/process-palette/node_modules and reinstalling dependencies with apm install will clear the problem up.
