Any way around "JS/Adware.Agent.AC application" infected websites?

[billyboy12 0]

I've been trying to use a website that ESET Internet Security has started blocking since August 30th. ESET says "Threat: JS/Adware.Agent.AC application" which from what I've read on other forum posts, seems to be due to a website using ExoClick ads. I figured that blocking ads with AdBlocker would solve the problem and let me access the site, but I still can't access it. Is there a way I can block whatever it is on that website that ESET has a problem with so I can access it again? No idea if the website's admin will ever fix the issue.

Why do you want to visit a site that is contaminated

From what I understand, it's just the ads on the site that are contaminated, not the site itself. Remove the ads, remove the contamination is my thinking.

From what I've read you might have better luck blocking ExoClick ads using the uBlock Origin extension.

I was using uBlock Origin previously, but it didn't seem to help. Site seems to work now, so it seems like something has been changed that has corrected whatever the problem NOD32 was having.

The only thing FireFox-wise that would stop it would be "noscript" option which of course would block all web site script execution.

Try uBlock with dynamic filtering. And try to block the ads on all websites.
