Malware Popups from Snopes

That ad, “Do you want to block Junk Emails?” is for a Zango product — adware (VirusTotal report here). And by running this ad, Snopes, which is highly reputable, is providing an implied endorsement of the product.

Snopes should ditch the Fastclick spam crap and go with GoogleAdsense. They'd earn significantly more money and not have to worry about all those crappy popups.
