Either I'm infected with spyware, or ads.prospect.org just served up something from vav-scanner which, per google, "This site may harm your computer."
I visited this page and it opened a Javascript dialog telling me to check my computer. I opened a new Firefox window and turned off Javascript and then clicked the close box on the dialog.
Sheesh.
