Is there a simple way to check if any of the ptr's I am with use these, is it the same kind of thing as 'no script', because I have noticed on a few search engines there are somtimes 10 scripts that have been blocked that I assume would have run if noscript was not running?
In this case of thelittlestpenguins it's not that the site is "using" something. The sites have been hacked to place codes that download trojans and keyloggers onto your PC.
Noscript should help protect you from getting the trojan, however it would protect even more people if the trojan codes were removed or if the sites were taken offline until the trojans are removed. The keylogger is there for grabbing e-gold passwords to steal e-gold. It could also be grabbing cpanel passwords of anyone who is a program owner or webmaster, so that the hacker can put the trojan on other sites.
With the search engines it's more likely the things noscript is blocking were put there on purpose to abuse the IP and computer of any visitor. In some of those cases, they might also put trojan codes on their sites or they may visit a site in the background that has a virus or dialler on it. If you come across a search portal or other page that is running things to abuse visitors IPs and PCs you might let the PTR site owner know about it. Some sites will stop sending the bad ads out to protect their members.
