I got a few reports about some sort of phony antivirus warning popping up that seems clearly related to an ad here. They seemed to come around a concentrated period, but since I haven't been able to contact the engine room at advertising high command I have yoinked the ad code until I know things are straightened out. Apologies for any problems this situation has caused.
