. I also never click on their ads, learned that lesson that hard way many years ago.
Just so you are clear, you don't have to actually click the ads there to get into trouble. Just viewing their pages made my computer go crazy and I ended up with a Vundo virus and I have never clicked on any ad. I was one of the people that was told it was my responsibility to report their bad ads to their advertisers, not to them. I was also told that to avoid this problem I should just get a subscription so I wouldn't have to worry about the ads anymore.

I never had a problem with their ads causing my computer to go haywire, probably because I can't see them. I have the AdBlock Plus add-on installed in Firefox. I can't stand websites that bombard me with ads, so I solved my problem by making them invisible. What a bunch of asshats for telling you it wasn't their responsibility they have bad ads on their page, that is a load of bull in my opinion.
TwoToot:
Noscript, use it.
Leticron:
Better yet Noscript AND Adblock Plus
Just don't forget, if Noscripts constant updates notification starts to bother you (opening its webpage after each update) go to about:config and set
noscript.firstRunRedirection to false
Krib:
Yeah, adblock extension or privoxy running the background if you're not using Firefox. You almost have to these days.
