Yield manager shows when no script is enabled?

[HARLEY]

Hi

Sorry if this question is repeated but being i am new to no script, does Yield manager show when no script is enabled?

This appears where ads are and i was told it was spyware?

This is in firefox,, vista home premium 32 bit

thanks

Hi, HARLEY. Yes, yieldmanager is used to track your browsing. NoScript blocks javascript from yieldmanager by default. As far as I can tell, you never need to Allow it. I also use Adblock Plus with the EasyList subscription. As far as I can tell, that will block all the yieldmanager content that's called by a web page, not just the scripts.

Hope this helps.

was in yahoo email

I don't think you need to be too concerned, but I don't use yahoo email. If you like, I think you can block this kind of stuff from yieldmanager by using Adblock Plus with the EasyList filter list. It contains the following two filters which pretty much knock yieldmanager content dead.

Code: Select all

||yieldmanager.com^$third-party
||yieldmanager.net^$third-party

I just installed Adblock Plus, have not restarted yet, any any suggestions on settings if there are coices?
thanks

The very first time after you restart, Adblock Plus should open a tab inviting you to choose a free filter list subscription. Choose EasyList. Everything else will be done automatically. You may not have any further questions or need to make any changes to it, but it you do, Adblock Plus has excellent documentation and support at http://adblockplus.org.

By the way, HARLEY, you keep forgetting to log in.

Yes i saw that after i posted, forum a little different than some , the message page came up without log in, never saw a site do that?

AdblocK plus did as you said, and i subscribed to easylist , the one language you use is all you need?

You're welcome.

I ran the free online scan of SAS and only cookies were found,, the text in that "where" the banner ad was , is placed by an item on web pages but may not be spyware? If you have any idea. I use malwarebytes also, spyblaster installed now.

[Alan Baxter]

Probably just a tracking ad or something which served up a tracking cookie rather than full-blown spyware. If SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware just find cookies, then you're OK. SpywareBlaster will block most common tracking cookies.
