Test Filter: Kill Possible Fake IE Alert Bar CSS - Kye-U - Jul. 30, 2005 08:14 PM

This filter kills the fake Alert bars now used by crapware spreaders.

Code:
[Patterns]
Name = "Kill Possible Fake IE Alert Bar CSS [Kye-U]"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(css)"
Limit = 256
Match = "\w\s\{"
        "*top : 0 px&"
        "*left : 0 px&"
        "*z-index : \w&"
        "*background-color : #FFFFCC"
        "*\}"
Replace = "$ALERT(Possible Fake IE Alert Bar Removed on:\n\n\u)"

Screenshots:

I didn't get any bars with Firefox at all on that web page.
I have ysbweb.com in my connection-killer blocklist, however.
Near the bottom of the page, I did get this message:
"[an error occurred while processing this directive]".

This is probably why.

duble.com loads a script from ysbweb.com which then loads the stylesheets and additional javascript codes.

If it's killing the connection to ysbweb.com, then you won't be able to get the stylesheets Smile!
