    I scanned the offending script manually using https://urlscan.io and it passed as clean, so its probably more likely to be poorly written tracking/nuisance adware than something that will try and wipe your disk / hold you to ransom.  

    Nothing says nuisance ads more than a domain name like magictraps.  I assume the road.cc site admin staff noticed the poor performance and blocked the ad provider. 

    I don’t think the ads were the cause as I have my browser fairly locked down with AdBlock Plus and NoScript so my browser wouldn’t even see that javascript let alone run it.
