How can I replace jquery.js file?
A virus scan on a PC showed that the file jquery.js is containing spyware. But the antivirus program (sophos) can't repair the file. So I think that I want to replace it. I found a file with the same name on https://github.com/jquery/jquery/tree/master/test . Is it the file that I need? The file on this github page is only in form of sourcecode. So i would also need to know how to compile it in order to replace the bad file.

JQuery has many versions, you need to know which one is used, the complete list can be found here. You can see the version in the first part of the file.
I doubt that it is a legitimate virus risk, since that .js is executed by your browser, and it should securely execute it.
There is a similar question in Sophos forum, as well as here.

Javascript malware can steal data from the site it is running from, so it is still a risk. It is essentially an XSS attack.
