Title: NoScript Updates
Post by: Basil on October 25, 2013, 04:42:39 PM
For about the last six months, each and every time NoScript gets updated, I see a flag "warning" from NOD32 A/V, as soon as the NoScript screen with info on the new update, appears.
This was today's flag "warning":
Please DO NOT click on the URL below

Address has been blocked
URL Address:
http://store.uniblue.com/278/cookie?
affiliate=32578oc-at=scriptless
IPaddress=89.1.11.49

If I click on the above URL, I get another warning from NOD32 that:

This page is identified as potentially unwanted
This web page is on the list of websites with dubious reputation or websites with potentially unwanted content.
* Report an incorectly blocked page


The update completes well and NoScript works fine. Any idea what this is about? I am really puzzled/confused !

Thank you

This appears to be a long-time issue.  The cost of the website hosting must be such that Giorgio is using the Uniblue affiliate cookie for advertising revenue.

Most recently from the NoScript forums:  InformAction Forums • View topic - Please change/remove the Uniblue ads (http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=17368&p=60239&hilit=uniblue#p60239)

Ahh, yes...I now understand it.
Thank you Corrine.
