JS Trojan attempt

Flyertalk just tried to install a Javascript trojan on my PC. It got blocked by my security software, but the result was a complete crash of the PC. As a precaution, I am wiping and rebuilding. As a further precaution, I will not be on Flyertalk again until I receive assurance that this problem is corrected. No doubt, it was a third party advertiser who was the perpetrator. (Indeed, the worst malware I ever got was from an ad on the Wall Street Journal's web site.)

The malware was:

JS/Exploit-Blacolheur Trojan
