How do you know? This exact same thing has happened before (google turn.com and malware) due to malware. Our ads are served by Google who claims to no longer serve Flash ads. I have been told these are Flash ads. So that leaves two possibilities. It's malware or its a huge screw up by Google.

Part of my job is to identify and prevent malware. I have reproduced the issue on proven sterile systems over a range of OSes and browsers. I guarantee you it's not malware.

Agreed. I've replicated it on 4 different computers (one of which is essentially a clean install of Windows with no Chrome extensions) and 3 different browsers. Malwarebytes comes up clean.
