You don't expect to see a malware attack on your LiveJournal friends page of all places. Fortuantly Norton caught it before it could do anything.

Rumour on the internet is that there's a string of banner ads that eventually redirect to malware.

Wow. I had never actually seen banner ads on Livejournal despite everyone having been complaining about them for a few months. And they have just appeared on your comments page.

But that's a really unsophisticated attempt by whomever to try to hijack my browser that is running under Lunix.

I currently have a sponsored account, which means if you're not logged in with a paid account you'll see ads on my journal.

I used to have a paid account, but didn't renew it because their payment site had security problems. It loaded a couple of images over HTTP, and so IE quite rightly decided the site wasn't secure. They fixed that a while back, but I never got round to upgrading.
