How do I use this site without enabling scripting from akamaihd.net?

[Marikhen]

Recently scripting from akamaihd.net has resulted in some questionable behavior on multiple sites. Both this site and www.pathofexile.com have had in-page panels pop up with error messages about being unable to connect to "beehods.work" as well as having words on both sites altered with a green symbol next to them to pop up in-window advertisements. In the case of Path of Exile's web-site this ad tried to fake being a security alert from Grinding Gear Games themselves. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/Marikhen/akamaihd.net%20shenanigans.jpg

As such I'm forced to presume that the akamaihd.net site has been severely compromised and would like to know how to properly use this site without it given that I had to enable it to both log into the http://store.steampowered.com/ site earlier and just now to post this message.

Why not enable scripting?

[Marikhen]

Well, two reasons.
#1 I don't want ads, especially not for sites or services that have already gotten money out of me.
#2 akamaihd.net is behaving abnormally. This only cropped up within the last few days. As such I am treating it as a problem on their end that could result in a security breach on mine. The fact that one of the in-line ads tried to pass itself off as a security breach just emphasizes this point.

And the ads on Steam are for Steam. So no worry here.

That ad is not for Steam or anything related to Steam or Valve, and it only appears when scripting from akamaihd.net is enabled. Furthermore, the gaps between the Steam/Store/Community section of the page and the Feature Items/Games/Software section and the search text entry box and the weeklong deals notice only appear when scripting from akamaihd.net is enabled. Edit: Also bear in mind that that advertisement interferes with proper usage of the menu elements.

This is malware. You have a malware infection here.

This. Steam has never had any type of ads besides games on Steam itself, and only when using the client, not the browser version. Run you antivirus and some anti-malware. For the latest, people recommend Malwarebytes.

When you are done fixing your computer, I also highly suggest modifying your host file with this http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm .. It should minimize most future incidents like this.

Strange. So it was. Something called DealMinue that doesn't turn up in any search results. Showed up with DDealMMine and DeeaolMinee in Program Files x86 and as a "DealMinue" extension in FireFox.

Oddly enough, it was the only thing installed on the day it shows as being installed, so I don't know how it got on my system, nor do I know why it only showed up when scripting from akamaihd.net was active.

Yes, and I also said it was showing up when scripting from akamaihd.net was enabled and that it showed up in other sites like pathofexile.com. I never said it was Steam-specific or caused by Steam itself.

Akamai is a content delivery network. The malware uses it.

Dealmine is an addon for firefox, could that be the way you got it.

[Marikhen]

Doubtful. Haven't done anything with Firefox updates in a month or more, and the only thing that seems to auto-update is NoScript. The last addon I installed was the Google Hangouts one, and that was back around May 4th or 5th.

The folders were created on the 25th, Windows says the one program was installed on the 26th, and I installed updated AMD drivers on the 23rd and Anarchy Online's beta client on the 27th.
