    Never use BETA software

    Noscript - blocks ALL scripts on a webpage. RIGHT CLICK the 'S' bottom right and 'allow' which scripts are needed for the webpage to run

    Rapport - I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole. Its been know to slow MANY computers down and conflict with software in the hundreds.

    AVG is irrelevant, it just happens that it was my AV before

    So is avast, malwarebytes detected the FP.

    A false positive is a virus scanner detecting a clean file as a virus, incorrectly, whilst that can sometimes be a pain, overall detection rate is far more important

    open it in firefox, it does inhibit a smooth browsing experience though, the price you pay for an additional layer of security.
