Caveat lector: Link has a pop-up that tries to download a Trojan Horse.

Me too. Had to kill Firefox with Windows Task Manager.

I encountered the Trojan also. It occurred with me when viewing the second page of the article. They are probaly hosting an ad from a sub-optimal net vendor. I have emailed several potential admin names at townhall.com. They really need to vet their advertisers.

There is serious malware on that site. I’m wondering if it’s sabotage.

Perhaps the getting the trojan is just the luck of the draw and depends on the shuffle of advertisers you get when you go there.

I tried both pages with no problems. Kaspersky didn't "see" anything and a anti-malware scan after didn't detect anything on my computer.
