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.

Webmaster programs are paying these scumbags for their traffic. as long as that continues things will only get worse. for every security hole ms plugs 20 are exploted. and it seems like more and more scum bags are emerging and the honest webmaster is few and far between.
i know a couple of guys that have had trojans installed on their computers from surfing mad thumbs and 89.com
too bad.
