Hi Devesh, I'm not sure if you're concerned because your virus scanner reported something or because you'd like to have some assurances that what you're downloading is legitimate. I'll address both just in case.
1) Virus Scanner Reported Something: In some instances, anti-virus programs have reported a false positive on packed versions of various libraries in jQuery. It's definitely a false positive and not a virus in any way. 2) The jQuery downloads are basically text files that we manage & the project has been active for 3 years now. We have a tremendous number of large scale users leveraging jQuery so you can rest assured you're in good company. You can see a list of them here: http://docs.jquery.com/Sites_Using_jQuery As Ralph mentioned, the fact that Google hosts the jQuery library on their CDN is a good indicator of the safety level of the library. In terms of viruses & jQuery, you should be fine. If you're concerned about downloading it from our site or using the Google hosted version, please feel free to download the code and create your own version of it. This will give you the best level of control over the build process: http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#Subversion_.28SVN.29 We want you to enjoy your experience with jQuery and provide the best option available for your usage.
