Default What webpage had the threat

When AVG, or another AV, finds a threat and notifies me that it found
one, a threat riding on Firefox, it never says what url I was accessing
that had the threat, or what tab it was on? It would certainly help to
know.

Is this because I have the free version? It does't list that among the
advantages of the paid version. But it seems unlikely it wouldn't
know.

I have several Firefox windows open and several tabs in each. This
happened whiile I was having dinner but even if I were in front of the
scree, the connection has been "aborted" and I don't think there is any
way for me to tell. I wasn't visiting any new or risky url afaik.

In this case it identifies it as URL:loTBotnet, from
https://vast.doubleverify.com/v3/vast?_media...... It shows it as one
level of severity out of three.

Stopped using Avast awhile ago. Avast bought AVG, so I'm guessing there
was a convergence of features.

The popup doesn't look something like the pic below?

As I recall, there was also a log listing what threats got blocked, but
that might be my recollection from using Avast Free.

It is because it knows that an idiot is using their product when top
class antivirus default product from Microsoft would do a better job.

This has happened before but I don't think I knew, probably, exactly
which url did it before.

As I said, this link gave me a script-won't-stop error. And it must
have been this link because I was away from the computer for 2 hours,
and clicking on the link above was just about the first thing I did when
I got back.

After I cleared the script-won't-stop popup, the error popup from Avast
showed, about 1/3 the height and width of the display part of the screen
(the rest of which was black), just as intended, I presume.

But no tab was white while the others are blue. All of them are blue.
And there are only 14 tabs so there are none hidden to the right or
left.

When this happens, several other things happen. While other FF windows
still work in this window:
Ctrl-W won't close the tab I'm looking at or any other tab.
Clicking on a tab won't change the focus to that tab or any other.
Clickking on in the lowest bar does nothing.
Right clicking in many places opens no menu, only a narrow grey empty
list box, with the emphasis on empty.
Clicking on the X in the upper right corner does nothing
In the past, the text within one tab, the tab itsself not the rest of
the page, was surrounded by a black box, but that hasn't happened this
time.

I can resolve this by Exiting FF. If necessary by using Task Manager.
I'm pretty sure when I reopen it the current problem window is always
fine.

Eventually I will ask on the Firefox newsgroup (thought it doesn't seem
nearly as busy as a few years ago.)

But I wanted to point it out to see if anyone else had this problem
becuase of http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/12/06/30/71/url_ma10.jpg

It may be a wild goose chase. I don't understand it
enough. But I wondered since it said IoTBotnet. I don't
think a phone would be included, no. Then again, many
people have their phone syncing over bluetooth. And phone
hacks are becoming more common. So why not? Some
consider a modem part of IoT because they've been
hacked en masse, bu in general I'd think of it as a home
appliance or car that connects online.

To me this is a lot like social media. I'm intrigued and try
to learn what's going on, but I don't actually use any of it,
so I find it hard to grasp how it all works. Could someone
hack your frig and make your ice cream melt? I don't know.
Could there be any purpose in hacking your frig? I don't know.
I have seen warnings about Amazon's Ring cameras
being hacked. But at this point I feel like it's moving so
fast that I can hardly *imagine* what could happen. Who
would have thought even a few years ago that people
would be calling their thermostat on the phone or watching
their house being robbed in real time? The other day I saw
a news story about a woman who was called by her security
system. she watched the thief on her phone. Then she began
yelling at the woman over speakers in her bedroom,
telling her to put back the stuff she was taking. I almost
felt sorry for the poor thief.

So for the time being I'm just staying inside and I don't
let my TV connect online. So all I have to worry about
is drones peeking in the window and uploading video of me
blowing my nose. But since I don't have social media I
might never know if I'm a worldwide celebrity due to my
nose-blowing style.

I'm thinking of joining anti-social media.

But when I inquire, no one will talk to me.

You should start your own website entitled

"New uses for tinfoil"

That should attract the right kind of clientele.

Tinfoil people are a pretty friendly lot.

Why do we always say "Tinfoil" when we really mean *Aluminum foil*? :-)

I remember back when I was a child, that's what almost everyone said. It
was wrapped around cigarettes in a package.

But these days, when you can buy aluminum (aluminium for those in the
UK) foil in rolls, almost nobody (nobody I know anyway) still says tinfoil.

I don't know it was ever called "tinfoil"? Was it originally made from
tin? Probably, but I don't know for sure.

Similarly, canned food came in cans made from steel, and still do. They
were called "tin cans" back then and still are.

They're tinfoil people, because they think they're
getting tinfoil.

Just as they think their metal hat
has some positive effects (looks attractive).

*******

The aluminum foil box, has no "ingredients" section.

This article states that the shiny side is the result
of which surface(s) touch polished steel rollers. The matte
finish side doesn't touch a roller on the last pass.

It's hard to believe though, that aluminum oxide
does not form on the shiny side, and dull it. Aluminum
oxide forms virtually instantly, on the top layer
of the metal. And as time passes, chews into ("pits")
thicker metals.

And the foil really isn't all that resistant to chemical attack.

Here, a bunch of Chinese salesmen, describe their cigarette lining products.
These appear to be alloys.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-ci...-aluminum-foil

The breakdown here is a bit weird.

https://www.jolybar.co.il/wp-content...17/01/ALLM.pdf

Alloy Cu Si Fe Mn Mg Zn Ti others AL
8011 0.1 0.5 0.6 0.2 0.05 0.10 0.08 0.05

So at least in that case, we get a breakdown of
the "trace elements". Were they put there on purpose,
or not ?

*******

And there's a pretty thin tin sample here - 0.05mm.
Based on the price, I don't think you'll be wrapping
food items in it any time soon.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I followed your advice,
and I met some really nice people on my website. Then I read their
website and then I visited their ship.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/06...t3._medium.jpg


I recognize one or two of these people, but most of the people in the
picture were not there. Lots of other people though. I went with them
for nearly two weeks, saw fantatic things through the windows. If the
picture came out, I'll post them.

They were very nice. Didn't want money.

They explained that they are the same word in Xercon, which is the
language they speak where the hats are made. So it depends who is
translating.
