What day was this? And were you able to get the url that did it? I know there was a day that some super virus was roaming the cybernet jacking everyone.
I'll look into this and maybe chuck these ads 'til I know it's safe for sure. I do >REALLY< need more info tho. Ads keep this site alive and with everyone encouraging Adblock and the like, that could sink us.

Ads do help, but if your ads are basically destroying the systems of the site's users then they're not really doing anything beneficial. Personally, after the problem I had with my system where I couldn't even install anti-virus programs on my computer without the trojan making them crash, I'd say look into a better alternative for ads.
It's nice to have ads, but the entire site is basically an ad. Certain words turn into ads, banner ads that have nothing to do with toku are ads, Google AdSense is an add, ads ads ads. Its bound to come from someplace, especially if the ads aren't even targeted to the user base but just by keywords on the site.
I should say I'm glad the ads haven't gotten as bad as rangerboard, where they have pop ups everywhere.
