Office scan detects a 'web secrutiy violation'.

[OldSkoolRS]

Browsing in the classifieds part section I keep getting a pop up from Office scan that says it has blocked a web page due to a security violation (see the attached screenshot). Everytime I move to the next page it pops up again, so it's getting really annoying.

Just thought you should know...

I reckon OfficeScan is paranoid. As far as I know Scorecard's beacon.js is an analytic script (a bit like Google analytics) used to track views of ads etc.

Maybe it is a bit paranoid, but it's strange how it's just started doing it today (er yesterday). I shut down and restarted and it seemed to be OK for a while, but now it's back. I also got it on AVforums tonight, so not just PH classifieds. Due to the classifieds issues the day before I wondered if it was related.

It's going to be a nuisance if I have to click on 'OK' every page I view. It's a work PC so I can't change any settings either. Maybe time I bought my own laptop...

This happens quite a lot with these scanners - someone puts something into the database "to be on the safe side" and it triggers warnings all round the world about something moderately innocuous.

Not been doing it today, so I don't know what's going on. It's a PITA using a work PC as I can't really do much with it software/AV wise and probably could get my wrists slapped just for browsing the web with it, but it's much ore convienient than using my home desktop.
