When I visited today I got a popup from my antivirus, and the "Internet explorer has blocked this site from downloading files onto your computer"
It is a well known fact that several advertisment providers are providing ads that have major security flaws, even on sites like the wall street journal. I just thought I would bring this to your attention as someone with out decent protection could get infected with some nastys while visiting if that advertisment happens to rotate in. I will investegate a little further to see if I can find the specific advertisment that is causing this issue.
I'm running in a virtual machine, so even if something happens to gain access I just revert to a prior state and all is good... someone else may not be so lucky.
