	From Malware delivered by Yahoo, Fox, Google ads | InSecurity Complex - CNET News:



	...researchers at Avast are pointing fingers at some large ad delivery platforms including Yahoo's Yield Manager and Fox Audience Network's Fimserve.com, which together cover more than 50 percent of online ads, and to a much smaller degree Google's DoubleClick.

	And people wonder why high-end computer users usually surf the web with ad blockers?

	I completely understand the thought that I should allow ads from sites that I like since the ads support the content, but since the site owners do not know who programmed the ads, I can't truly trust the ad content.

	So, beyond the annoying bounce, flash, whiz-bang, protecting myself from malware is yet another reason to block unwanted content.
