Be careful guys! I just got infected with a hijacker via java on a banner advert on here. I don't normally run java as I know it's a big security hole but I'd installed it for something at work. Fortunately I don't run as an administrator so just deleted my user profile once it had been taken over but that's not how Windows is set up by default so you might fall foul of this.

This site doesn't use java for anything, so if you ever get prompted "This web site requires java" you know something fishy is going on.

No, I killed the browser pretty quick, and then it took over the entire screen anyway. I get a lot more ads as I'm not paid up any more, I assume it's one of the google ads. It usually is!
