Oooh popups and overlays. I forgot about those! (The LJ overlays never affected me though; as far as I can tell it was only triggered on US user).
And ugh yeah, malicious attacks :/ They're pretty much inherent risks in ad networks, because anyone who serves ads on their webpages have to rely on unknown third parties to be honest, and it just takes one dishonest person who only cares about profit...
I think you nailed how I feel with that last paragraph. I don't care if the ad server knows what I'm reading at this very moment. Anything more than that is pretty creepy.
