"This week, several antivirus vendors declared the Google CDN version of jQuery 1.7.1 to be malicious, most likely as innocent bystanders to a major unrelated Wordpress attack."

This is why you should always download jquery and link to it locally.

You should always download jQuery and link it locally because antivirus vendors make stupid mistakes? That doesn't make much sense at all. They could just as well decide "/scripts/jquery-min.js" was a vulnerability if they found that on a lot of infected sites.
