Knowing that there are many coders here, I have a question concerning Noscript. I use gmail, and in a moment of complete distraction, I clicked on a link (unsubscribe link - most likely fake). By default, all scripts are blocked via noscript. Of course, those for gmail are allowed. Is there is any possibility that any malware could have been activated?

I will be scanning my pc using mbam, sas, avast and npe regardless.

yes.

Thanks Marshal. Do you think running all the above would be good enough?

yes and no. if you got infected then depending what that malware does will those help or not or do you need to take more drastic actions.

Ok. I think I should be fine. I also have an anti-keylogger and Threatfire (for unauthorized connections). Unless all the protection I have could be potentially thwarted by a damn virus?

if its not regocnized and it doesn't trigger heuristics then .........

Threatfire does not deal with heuristics at all. It deals only with actual connections. There are 5 levels. Level 5 being that any connection to the net is automatically blocked. Well, it warns you and you do what you want.

Since I have noscript as an addon, I am hoping that any potential unsafe script was blocked before anything negative could happen. I am not convinced that clicking on a link, while using noscript, would allow a script from downloading something from that link.
