No, it's not a trojan.  The alert you are probably getting about it is a
false positive.  The only AV company I have seen this caused by is Comodo
because it uses a very advanced heuristics application approach to finding
viruses and trojans in the wild preventing them before they are even aware
they are there and some newer versions of Norton which has recently started
to advance in the area of Advance Heuristics.  You can confirm it is not a
threat yourself by emailing the file you downloaded that it is reporting to
avl...@comodo.com or virus_resea...@avertlabs.com; simply pack the files and
email it off.  If you plan to email it to Avertlabs then please make sure
you password the zip with the password "infected" (without quotes ofcourse).
Avert will do an automatic submission and test it automatically and email
you back if no threat is found, if it's engine is wigging out on the
threat-o-metre then it will be elevated and take upto a week, but either
way, in short, no, JQuery is not a trojan.
