Where can I enter a specific site for NoScript to block

Post by LRC »

I have located an adware link in web text that I want NoScript to block. Is there somewhere in NoScript that I can enter this information after I have left the website that contains it?

(Other then a select few), unless you specifically Allow a site, all sites are blocked by default.

If you specifically wanted to mark a site as untrusted, you can use the Untrusted (context) menu item.

After the fact, you could specifically visit the URL, & while there mark as Untrusted.

I described my problem poorly. I don't want to waste forum time if NoScript is the wrong tool for resolving this issue. What I'm trying to block is adware residing on my machine that shows up in many sites by creating live links from key words in the text of whatever site I'm on which then result in ad pop ups. So far I've been unable to remove it via Norton, etc; I want to know if I can tag "i.tracksrv.com" globally with NoScript. Other forums show this thing changing the initial letter when a version gets blocked ["d.tracksrv, e.trackserv," etc;] so I want to globally block tracksrv.com. I was trying to shut it down since I'm having trouble removing it. Sounds like I need to use another program to locate and remove it.

Yes, you should use a malware removal tool for this.

The links may point to tracksrv, but probably the script that inserts them is not. NoScript can't really fight against privileged code, ie things installed on your hard drive.

Hello,

I use a very good add-on in Firefox called BlockSite, if the link below does not run copy and paste in to the address bar.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/down ... on-history

You can use wildcards in the site names you want to block. Enter your site you want to block as *tracksrv* and noting relating to that should get through.

This would only block the site and as others have suggested you need to remove the underlying cause.

Well, yes, and ABE could do the same:

Code: Select all

Site .tracksrv.com
Deny
But the point is that if there is software installed on your machine that is doing this, then it will always be able to get around anything a Firefox addon can do, plus whatever else it wants (keylogging, etc).
Blocking the links without removing the cause is like taking paracetamol to treat cancer.
