I tried to go to wi.ign.com to read a review of the new WiiWare snowboarding game and Chrome told me that the site's ads are full of Malware.
Anyone else get this error?

I'm not going to try, but I will say that any site can get infected with anything. I got hit with this fucker years ago from msn.com.

Re: IGN Malware?
I wouldn't doubt it. I've gotten a trojan from a rotating banner ad on a reputable site just recently; was enough people being effected that they had to work to make sure the ad was removed.

I just use adblock and no script. No problems from any sites, now.

It might have been bumped by a spammer that has since been deleted.

This is the most likely solution. At first, I was freaking out that Mozgus randomly returned, but then I saw the post date.Hobie-wan wrote:It might have been bumped by a spammer that has since been deleted.
