    You know what the last straw for me was? A few years ago, when people got infected with malware from ads including ads that ran on a Forbes article about malware in ads that you had to disable your adblocker to read.

        Either by linking to malware so you get infected if you click the ad, or by containing malware directly. Ads can contain code, making them almost like small applications that run when loaded.
