Malware ad on FT are very bad form

I have been in FT for about an hour this morning.

TWICE I have returned from a thread .. and at least once (I do not recall the first time) gotten a brand new page (not FT) from a company called Malware.

It ran a scan and told me my PC was infected.

It definately was the same window as my FT session had been in since FT was now gone.

Came up with errors (and wanting me to give it ActiveX authority).

The first program came back with several message boxes asking me to load their software to protect my computer. It was VERY HARD to get this thing to stop.

PLEASE PLEASE resolve this.

If the site has been hijacked by ads .. you have issues with your ad provider.

If the site has been hijacked by others .. you have a more serious problem....
