Is this adware or something worse?
« on: June 16, 2008, 12:43:36 AM »
I saw this in my privoxy file: a href="hXtp://www.cio-today.com/accuserve/accuserve-go.php?c=7537"

Is accuserve an adware serving site. Should this be blocked? DrWeb's av link-checker gives it the all green,

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Check these Scandoo results and notice the synopsis of each:

Now, for the home page:

http://accuserveadsystem.com/

It is surely an ad serving site.
