P5 js editor blocked by Avast- new problem

[Kris1]

Hi Folks- yesterday I was working on a project. There were no isssues with the P5 editor. I came back a few hours later and a warning message from Avast came up. This has never happened to me before using P5 JS.

Has anyone else found this problem?

I think it is a over zealous virus blocker, but the strange bit is that it only recently began to happen and I have not changed my settings/virus protection…

it could have to do with the recent changes to the editor. there is a thread about another problem that mentions some of the things that the editor does now and includes links to more information.

Embedding OpenProcessing Sketches

Oooof. That is annoying. p5js.org just 1) completely broke the fullscreen view of sketches (even if you navigate there directly, not in an iframe), and 2) introduced one of these stupid* “accept cookies” banners. Unfortunately the latter is difficult to deal with because browsers will not send cookies with requests generated from within an iframe that is hosted on a site with a different domain name. So if p5js.org insists on having this “accept cookies” banner present on the full screen editor …

i’m sure someone will have more information about it. as for myself i believe it is safe and you are correct that your vs is over zealous in its blocking.
