I remember of someone who has a spyware called spysheriff. But there are plenty of sites like that. AB+ aim is not to block sites.

But you can go to this page with Firefox without problem. I don't think it uses Firefox flaws... Just don't install their false anti-spyware...

I just added that to "Malicious" in the EasyList

Ok, it was 2 years ago, but I'm sure it was a spyware which redirects you at spysheriff.com in order to pay their "anti-malware". They were no blue screen. But maybe it has changed...
With spybot and "no safe" XP start, I managed to delete it.

Anyway, I uphold what I said: this has nothing to do with AB+. I know Wladimir has decided to promote a malware list, but I'm sure it will confuse people. AB+ won't prevent this site to work, and even if you block all content, you will still be able to download craps from this site (except if you use css but it's another thing)...

Adding it to 'malicious' should prevent the redirect. Even if it doesn't, it removes the 'Download' button from the site itself.

I just activated Noscript's default Block-All mode and went there.

Unfortunately, rouge anti-malware is pretty common - there are lots of sites serving it. So blocking this one won't make much difference...
