spyware / scumware / malware / redirection software is literally eating the industry from the inside out. On the surface, things are great. Under the skin, though, things are not so good.
Microsoft moving to plug the holes is, as is normal for them, overtly agressive and late. Considering that something like 85% of surfers are using IE, the console will soon die a horrible death. It also puts many of those "pop up blocker" companies right out of business.
Hopefully the government of the US takes action again some of these scumware companies, and let's us all (including mainstream companies) get back to business.
