Avast network shield detects URL:MAL when opening Firefox.No issue with IE or Chrome.
After troubleshooting realized problem is NoScript addon.
Could it have been infected or maybe the infection I have uses a vulnerability in the plug in?

If I disable or remove no script I don't get the warning from antivirus, if I re-intall noscript the pop up appears again each time.

Please note I also changed the homepage...from google.com to something else and it has no effect, so definitely it is not a script on the page.


I am now running in depth virus/malware scans to see were the actual infection is.
However I am concerned that there might be some malware that can exploit vulnerabilities in this addon which I like very much.

Could be ABE's IP detection, try disabling that.

Its a false positive. The ABE IP should not be triggering anything.

Hi, it wasn't a false positive , I had several infections..which are now all clean, and I am back and running, I can also see a visible system speed improvement.

My answer was directed at you saying it was NoScript and dhouwn saying it was the ABE IP, both of which I stand by. If you found viruses and are cleared up and now everything is working good, that's great to hear but that doesn't change assessment on OUR end.
