To any posters who think "It's adverts mate, nothing more, nothing less"

It's not actually NOT if you read up on the subject but in answer to that particular statement.

Regarding adverts, so is a lot of Spam, So are a lot of Trojans, so are a lot of Browser Helper Objects (BHO's) that take over your surfing and take you to sites you don't wish to visit. A lot of these are recognised by anti-virus companies as particularly dangerous.

If it was just only about adverts, it wouldn't mean it is particularly safe anyhow so the argument is flawed.
