I'd rather have Adblock then get malware on my PC. Before saying don't click the ads, if I meant to scroll down then accidentally click an ad, it's not my stupidity.

it's not, but consider turning adblock off on sites that you want to support or trust btw ads cant contain malware, they have to be approved by google and it'd be hard to get an ad with malware approved

I said on a previous thread, still reflecting my views: "No, most of the baconhairs can't figure AdBlock out. The majority playerbase, then, will still see the ads. The casual players and forumers, etc, like ourselves have [Adblock Plus] reserved [for themselves]."

BBC has accidentally served Malware Advertising before.

if you get ads with malware, you might have adware if they did serve malware ads, then you'd think google would improve their ad system, not keep it the same
