| Several banner ads containing Trojan horse programs that can compromise a user's computer have been running on some high-traffic Web sites for the past several weeks, including MySpace.com and Photobucket.com...The banner ads in question were traced back to an ad network exchange run by a company called RightMedia, which was recently bought by Yahoo!.... |
