Viruses in FT ads?
I use Avira Anti-virus. It just picked up a trojan on an FT page displayed on Google Chrome. Obviously, it could only have come from an ad, though I don't know which ad it was.

I've found Avira to be very reliable, and I've never gotten a false alarm from it.

This could be a serious issue.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are investigating and will remove any ads deemed suspicious.

Do you know what page you were on? Since the ads are contextual, it might be easier to find if we know where you were.

I really don't recall. It happened as I was closing Chrome because I was finished reading FT so my mind had already closed down.
