Shaky ground

No secret that the ads in LJ have gotten more intrusive since the latest sale. Playing audio, expanding on hover, etc.

But now they're just naked malware. Immediately redirecting you to a fake Java update page? Giving you no-choice dialog boxes to "upgrade your virus software"?

What a sad state of affairs. But I suppose you get what you pay for.

The fake Java update isn't just LJ. I've been redirected on a few other sites out there; someone is managing to sneak through. Repeatedly. :(
