There's a virus on my project

For some reason, whenever I try to add a script tag to my project autouoc.glitch.me, my Avast antivirus thinks that there’s a virus on my project. It first occurred when I tried to import localForage, and then it went away, and then it decided to come back again when I was in the middle of creating an empty script tag for experimentation.
The virus it claims is on it was some like JS:includer-ain, in case that helps.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or how to fix it? Is it a Glitch problem, or just an Avast problem? I would make an exception for the site, but it might actually have a virus on it, so I’d rather not.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Because I currently can’t actually test the site out now :sob:

just gonna put this through virustotal

Hello,

I reviewed your project’s index page and I didn’t see any malicious code (so thats good!).

Side note:
I just noticed that you should update the beginging from:

<!DOCTYPE html >
<!--PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"-->
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

to

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

The <!--PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"--> is old school html and you don’t need that anymore.

the outdated HTML must’ve triggered the alert

I don’t think so, a lot of old websites still use it.

@Pufferfish101007, could you visit riverside.rocks/phpmyadmin/ and see if it is detected as a virus?

error, forbidden eh?

I just checked lua.org just in case bc it uses the old school HTML

it uses HTML 4.1 which was released in 1999

you do not need some old school HTML or it can show up as a virus, just saying

try stripping some of the html
