[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 142811, member: 112"] It's possible to be infected by a Google ad, but that has nothing to do with Google and probably not even with the person or company that placed the ad. Websites are often hacked and then infected by various methods. One of the newer methods is to place an infected pixel in a picture, ad or even in the site's background image and when your cursor passes over the pixel (one color dot) it passes on the infection. This type of infection can be in documents, images, emails or anywhere else. The only defense is to keep all your protections up to date and use multiple layers of protection. I use Malwarebytes, [url=https://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download]avast AV[/url], [url=https://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html]Spybot S&D[/url] and [url=https://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html]Spywareblaster[/url] and haven't had anything get by them in many years.
