Banner ads lately have become increasingly aggressive I've noticed. It must be a byproduct of the bad economy. They didn't used to have audio. Now, I hear all the time: "Congratulations, you've won..." These aggresive banner ads are part of the rotation. So who knows what percentage. A couple of times, my Norton was triggered by these ads - attempting to open a Flash window (I think). I never had one run without the site being loaded though. But you know what, I haven't heard one lately. Maybe enough people complained. Or maybe I just haven't been using the internet lately due to malware.

Have patience if you have time to start a Malware thread. I did and I just might be cured now!
