I signed up for the forum just so I could mention this. I know you don't directly select the advertisers, but I've seen this a few times now. When reading an article, it redirects to a page that looks like this (in the same window, not as a new tab - it takes over the tab that I was reading the article in).
Yes, that is trying to get me to download and run an executable.
This is bad - really, really bad. You need to reconsider your advertising service.
I had whitelisted phoronix in my ad blocker, and have gone back and forth a couple times now because of things like this. But this is it. Until this is resolved, my adblocker will be on.
