Does anyone have any idea where this malware problem would be coming from? I use TribalFusion, ValueClickMedia, Adsdaq, RightMedia, ADBrite and Google Ad Sense.

I dunno - but I wouldn't think VCM Tribal or Goolge would let anything sneak in?

Reminds me of an incident last week re my site. I upload a column mon-friday since 04. I was going to add an archive section allowing visitors to go back that far. It's hundreds and hundreds of pages... But in checking the first page I did (august 04) I got swarmed with pop ups (blocker was off as I was testing my own site - stupid me). Unfortunately my site won't include an archive section - but it made be grateful that I no longer use that pop up company. Good luck.

My two top suspects would be Adsdaq & Adbrite.

Adbrite - I have experienced this in the past, and was able to solve the problem by not selecting any 3rd party feed ads from the ad manager. Since this was a large portion of their ads, my fill rate and cpm rate dropped so I dropped adbrite.

Adsdaq - I have heard from other webmasters on another forum that have identified suspect ads being served by them. I was cut from their network a while ago so don't have any experience now, just what I've heard.

Hi guys,

I found out it was actually one of the networks in Right Media.

why people stick with that program once they clearly spreading some unwanted problem and non professional manner, back to adsense, I am sure you won`t find any cheat or problem like this

It could be possible that mallwares are not coming from your mentioned websites possible things could be its coming from your network when you upload your site. So check the server status. I have already faced these type of problem on my site http://www.sava.in
