Read this quite interesting and extensive thread about this online webscript-threat through the link I provided. But more important is my question: "Does avast shields alert this, where does this come from or put in another way: “Wat lies at the root of the trouble here?”
I didn’t have time to read the entire thing, but from what I saw, Firefox is basically sending info to innoshot.com without the user’s knowledge when they use one of the popular search engines. Am I right?
I didn’t look to see if it was a particular add-on, I figured that if it was, they thread would be talking more about it, rather than FF itself.
Well, at least no-script is blocking it (I think), and until they figure it out, use chrome or another browser…
A way to do a hidden redirect through the POST method is to create a hidden input element, use then JS to change the hidden element value and submit the form.
e.g. something like should work, however I have not tested it. If you’re familiar with JS you will figure it out.
fucntion sendByPost(hiddenField)
{
var = myvalue;
var myHiddenfield = document.getElementById(hiddenfield);
myHiddenfield.value = myvalue;
document.form.submit();
}
You could see there are actual scenario’s to do this, also with AJAX,
