NO ADs means no advertising found on site during last check, without this, expect advertising in some form, SCRIPT counts are taken from running the page under the NO SCRIPT addon for FIREFOX.
This does not mean that the site is evil or untrustworthy, but a high script count normally means there is a lot of info being sent across the internet about your activities, not all are tracking. Lower is better in this case.
