I will post this again since I can't see my first post and hope I don't see a double post after I post this one.

Yes I use FireFox so I am using noscript. I like having a clue where the attack is coming from.

NoScript is a pain in the pa-toot if you use it while cruising the internet; you have to be up to the task of digging through scripts on every new site you visit to figure out which ones will make the site even work properly. Just use the script filter in Avast..

2old I am using free avast and I think I am using the current version. I didn't see a script blocker. I do have the avast plug-in on the browser. I guess I am missing something...

2-old I am not saying I am not crazy but I was answering the question was I using noscript. My second post was more clear.

You can find the beta searching for malwarebytes anti exploit probly ver 0.09. it has a little bug but nothing bad. I've got the newest alpha but I don't think they have let the link out since it's still in alpha stages. it's doing great, i'll see if I can get the link to it if you want it..

I am guessing the scrip filter has a web crawler that looks for infected web pages then adds it to the naughty list. If the page is clean the next time it is scanned it comes off to list. As you change pages/sites the filter checks the list before allowing you to open it. Most sites I visit are fairly secure. They may get infected but will be discovered and dealt with in 24 hrs. Many web hosts guarantee malware scans within 24 hrs. so even small timers can get that level of security.

I wonder how long a crawler's cycle is. If it is 12 hrs or less that is pretty safe. If it is 48 hrs that isn't all that safe.
