This is actually one that is a nasty java based script that mimics an ad. If you go to an infected site (one day even NY Times had a problem) it runs the ad script and that is how it downloads. The best way I found to prevent it is to use Mozilla Firefox as you browser with the add-on called ABP (Adblock Plus). You can subscribe to a block list, or at websites you can open up a list of all the blockable item. Find any that say script and block those addresses (unless it is part of the website, you may need to leave those unblocked, the bad ones usually have 'ad' as part of the address). An added benefit is that websites load faster b/c there aren't any of the interactive ads anymore (they just show up as blank spaces). I have not had a problem since I installed it and built a library of blocked scripts and I don't miss the ads one bit. If anyone needs help setting it up I have my email open.
