I'm not seeing scripts running from that site.

I thought I allowed everything here, that one popped up as blocked. I think it's a valid site. EDIT: But it stopped popping up now. Also, it was popping up on all the threads when I opened them not just the forum announcements. Might NoScript have sav-ed me? I use my junk password here any way, what would stealing my password gain them?

The only two sites you need to enable for the forums to work correctly are anandtech.com and yahooapis.com. google-analytics.com and quantserve.com are for advertisements I assume. If you see anything else then it's suspicious.
 
I want to support the site and allow the ads, exponential.com mysteriously appeared and disappeared in NoScript but it was in all of the threads (not on the main page). Time to scan the PC. EDIT: I did not allow exponential.com, I no longer feel it's a valid site (may have been hacked). Also, yup, 4/5 allowed.

Fuck ads. Support the site by adding value to the forums. It's the people here that draw new people here, and add value. If that becomes insufficient some day, it can be addressed at that time. Ads and scripts are a security risk, and should be blocked.

I know, I just don't frequent many sites and run FF+ABP+NS. It's wonderful not having to reinstall Windows every couple of months. I wanted to support one of the few sites I frequent. I have the SSD and all that so it is easy to reinstall, don't excuse it I know but I still have my original install from 2010. Just freaks me out, I've had 1 rather weak virus in 3 years.

Not as tweaky as I used to be either. I used to love crashing my computer then staying up all night fixing it. That propensity died several builds ago.
