The New York Times has warned that rogue advertisements on its
website were serving scareware over the weekend. The malware creates
pop-up boxes which warn users that their computers are infected and
provides links that lead to pages where they can purchase products
that will allegedly remedy the problem. In fact, the products are
either ineffective or infect users' machines with more malware. As a
result of the incident, The New York Times has changed its policy on
advertisements served directly from advertisers' websites.
