Paul76 1 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 When going to this site, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2620111-demarcus-cousins-throws-ball-at-chris-paul-in-clippers-vs-kings-game A file is automatically downloaded called adserveresl.js when I click on the video down towards the middle of the page. It's put in my downloaded files folder but it has 0KB so maybe it's nothing. It's still a little strange for that to download automatically and not be caught by Emsisoft.

GT500 854 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 You would only be alerted if it was a known malicious file, or if something that wasn't trusted tried to execute it. It's just a JavaScript (based on the file name), so something else has to process it. It does seem a bit odd that a web browser would save a JavaScript in your Downloads folder without asking. Have you tried this in any other web browsers to see if this happens anywhere else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried this in any other web browsers to see if this happens anywhere else? I should've mentioned that I am using Microsoft Edge. It does seem a bit flakey to me so more than likely I will pick another browser. It was just more simple to have only one browser to deal with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 854 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 OK. Let me know if you notice it in any other browsers as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
