But here is the dirty little secret of browser security: Even if every Internet browser made today were completely bug-free, it wouldn't stop malicious hackers and malware. Why? Because the vast majority of successful malicious exploits today don't exploit buggy browsers, but rather unwitting end-users. That is, Web-based malware is successful because end-users are intentionally installing it! Most exploit code doesn't search for an unpatched vulnerability, but simply asks the user to install. - Roger Grimes, Infoworld

I have not seen a malvertizement featuring this site before - muchmusic.com
dreammates.com - this one dumped me at virusremover2008.com (domain created on 20 May 2008)
Here's a question. How do you determine which ads on a page are the malware culprits?
I run a highly trafficked site and we use third-party ad companies (Burst!, etc,). We've had problems with malware scumbags slipping their crap into our revenue stream.
I need to suss out which the bad guy is so I can tell the ad provider to pull it.
did you mention where you came across these?
Thanks!
