Hey John,

May I know what is the exact notice message shown and also what is the cause of their report?

Excacly the same error to me from imunify360 for files
scripts/admin-5.2.11.min
scripts/site-5.2.11.min
scripts/composer-5.2.11.min

I believe all of these are false positive. The minified script file is simply just a collection of all the uncompressed files.

I have had EB installed for almost a year, but the warnings have only just started a couple of days ago.

It is very difficult for me to tell you what is going on if there are no logs or information about what it is reporting about. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. The minified file only contains a compressed file of all the scripts in the extension.

It does not matter if you have it installed for over a year or over 10 years because all these reports are checked against a central database where it could be pinpointing to some false positive report because of an older jquery install etc. Having said that, we will investigate and figure this out.

What antivirus tool do you have so that we can try running this scan as well

We have just ran this scan thoroughly through:

1. The package that we downloaded from our site.

2. The single click updater

We did not receive any information about viruses from ClamAV. This is the result:

I don't want to try to analyze the reason the file may or may not contain malware. I just want to download and replace with a clean version on my server. If Maldet doesn't find a problem, I'll know my file was hacked. If it does find a problem with the new file, I'll know it;s a false positive and will add to the ignore list.

We ran many tests locally and we came to a conclusion that this is a false positive. On another customer site, when their hosting company updated their virus database, these warnings are gone.

Please check with your hosting company to update their anti virus database.

Why can't I simply download the file?

cant you download latest new EasyBlog and take out that file from EasyBlog ? com_easyblog/scripts/admin-5.2.11.min ??

We have 5 customers site confirming that this is a false positive when they re-ran the scan with their cpanel when their hosts updated their virus database.

I am pretty sure this is a false positive with Maldet as well so I would suggest that you update Maldet's virus definition list and run the scan again.
