DuckReconMajor Posted March 22, 2011 I installed adblock just now (go ahead and ask me why I didn't already have it, I don't know) because the DWForums home keeps making avast! go bing bing bing threat detected with uac.advertising.com. Apparently the UAC got bored with their helleporters and decided to start a virus on eBay. But yes, anyone without adblock or good antivirus, watch out! 0 Share this post Link to post

Aliotroph? Posted March 22, 2011 I've long since gone past ad blockers and just run NoScript on most sites, as well as FlashBlock. 90% of ads online disappeared and everything else magically stopped auto-loading their Flash widgets/players. It made the web a nice place again -- well, except for all the times I have to poke around in the NoScript menu trying to find the right domain to activate to load the site's content. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted March 22, 2011 I love NoScript unfortunately Chrome doesn't support it. FlashBlock is pretty good but I get sick of having sites load messed up. 0 Share this post Link to post

As of a few versions ago, you can middle click the noscript logo on the information bar to temporarily allow the current page. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm glad that you told us it was your /etc/hosts and not, you know, that you used an easy-to-use, popular program/browser that maintains an up-to-date blacklist and phishing/malware protection. 0 Share this post Link to post
