No problem man =)
I wanted to let people know so they could check if their systems were also acting in "unusual ways". And of course, since you are going to connect to the internet, you should be careful with your security (activate firewall, disable ssh if you don't need it, etc). As for JS... well, JS is not evil or dangerous per se. Truth is, JS is a language, and some people write good code in that language, some people write malicious evil code. And because of this, you can't really use the web without JS, because many websites that use good inocent JS won't work without it. LibreJS is not a solution either, because if a cracker was to attack people suing free/libre OS he would most likely write it in a way that LibreJS would accept it hoping that noone would actually read the code they were executing (what most people do right??).
So, unfortunately disabling JS is not good enough. =S
But I admit, JS was the culprit, because when I deactivated JS, https would stand as such, instead of turning into normal http.

Keep an open eye for anything and everything when you use the web.
