Hi Left123,
Well away from the fact that this topic now will have a new more adequate subject title, avast against malcoded image search results
in stead of Left123’s original topic title about Ossama…,
how can users protect against this threat?
NoScript and RequestPolicy extensions inside FX will fully protect against these malcoded image redirection threats.
WOT will give an indication as what image links not to click, but where do the avast shields come in?
It is a fact that the search query must be a hot news item, that will attract loads of possible victim clicks,
and this is in the line of what people could be infected with through clicking such a link, well rogue AV’s mainly -
see a recent detection here:
