Windows 10: Skeleton.js from pixel.adsafeprotected.com

Within the last week, I started to get warning message from Edge that a Java script, skeleton.js couldn't verified.




This only appear in Edge and not in Google Chrome, IE 11 or Firefox. Typical appearance is from go to www.nba.com or one other popular website.

The version I use:






There is no harm done, seem just a warning message. Anyway, I put
Pixel.adsafeprotected.com in my hosts file.

Any comment?

Strange file being downloaded on Microsoft Edge

All day I've been getting a bottom of the Edge browser popup that says "The publisher of skeleton.js couldn't be verified." This file, 'skeleton.js,' keeps being downloaded to my computer. Anybody know what's going on?

 

Blue Screen and Lock Up Problem

Here's another event viewer file if that helps

LockUpMarch4th2018.zip

 

Both my IE11 and Edge open www.nba.com fine.

Does that warning message include a Run button ?
If yes, ignore the warning and click it................ for now until a fix is found.
I had had this warning before and an advice was given to me. Unfortunately I cannot trace that thread. I have too many posts to track it.
Sorry.

P.S.
Do you have all Windows updates installed ?

 

Yes, Windows 10 is up to 10586.112.





Normally, most Java Script run somewhere under AppData sub directories like:

\User\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

but skeleton.js store the file at Downloads folder under the UserName. That draws my attention.

I have not have any warning message since adding pixel.adsafeprotected.com to the hosts file for more than 20 hours.

I am taking note and keeping track to this Skeleton.js in my troubleshooting log.

 

You did a manual download of a cumulative update which has yet to be offered in Windows Update.
Your version is 10586.112.

I chose not to do the manual update and my version is 10586.104.

It most likely has Nothing to do with you issue.
Just to mention our different versions.
