i had two users this week get those browser-hijacking "warnings" (the tech support/fbi type scams). one scrolling their facebook (probably clicked on a 'suggested' or 'recommended' link), the other reading 'articles' on msn.com. history of each showed direct link from site to scam page.
the ad networks... the sites themselves... nobody is vetting anything.
at least my users are getting better about calling me instead of the phone number on those screens.
