DA's gotten lax again... I've run into at least three ads that try to redirect me to some other site or attempt to download malicious spyware/viruses onto my computer. The most recent ad was, at least to me, particularly lulz-worthy because it tried to convince me my computer was being infected with tons of threats to my data/security, and doing a rather poor job at it because
A) the pop-ups and fake notifications were full of misspellings and punctuation errors (not to mention Windows Explorer wouldn't appear in any recent version of IE or at all in Firefox),
B) my computer has one hard drive, not two, and I don't have a DVD drive (yup, old computer is old)
C) (this is the best one) I USE UBUNTU, NOT WINDOWS! THAT VIRUS COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MY COMPUTER ANYWAYS!
Seriously, DA, you really need to do a better job of monitoring which ads pop up from your ad server... I'm sure it's not that hard to do, is it?
