Re: AdBlocker / NoScript
Careful with the VM. Some malware's smart enough to detect this and use an exploit to redpill its way out to the metal. As for known, trusted sites, the problem is that the malware targets ad networks USED by known, trusted sites. That's the key to a drive-by attack; they target sideloads used by otherwise-popular sites. Ideally, they want to use an ad system that's part and parcel with some key part of the site, making it practically unavoidable.
