You hit the nail on the head, suspecting a banner ad as the cause of this “sleazy” malware browser hijacker. Having experienced the very same re-direct myself over the weekend, I investigated further and it does seem that one of the Flash ads from one of our advertisers was the cause.

I’ve de-activated this ad, requested an explanation from DoubleClick, and will contact the advertiser as soon as I know more. I don’t believe there to be any culpability on their part; and certainly we wouldn’t have knowingly posted anything of this nature ourselves.

I apologize for this, and will post back here when I have more info.

I just went to the site again, and nothing happened this time. There's probably some sleezy javascript code in one of the banner ads that was displayed for me earlier. Anyway... Congrats! I'm looking forward to reading the book. Hmmm…. I just went to the site again, and nothing happened this time.

As to the link on the ITI page... that's odd. I clicked through all the way to the check out part, in both IE and Firefox, and both worked fine. So not sure what's up with that!

As a complete aside however, I do find it unconscionable that when I click on the link for the book, the page sends me to another website that tells me my PC needs to be optimized. Clicking on the back button only brings out further "error messages." The only way I was able to actually stay on the page for the book was to disable javascript in FireFox. I can't believe a company in the information field like InfoToday would affiliate itself with advertisers who work this way.
