What about on their own sites? Like YouTube?

Yesterday I just saw a banner ad on a YouTube music video - from Google AdWords - that was alerting me I may need some "Drivers" for my machine and I should get them from some suspicious company called TechSoft or RealSoft or something like that. It was the "dying car alarm drops a sick beat" extended remix if that's of any interest.

I did take a screenshot but don't have it handy right now.

I regularly see ads during Youtube videos for what I would assume to be malware -- "driver updates" and the ilk. It would be nice if Google would get their own house in order.

Why should Google get it's house in order? The best part about being a monopoly is everyone has to deal with you whether they like it or not. ;)

And they can punish other people's websites for having malicious ads, including Google-sourced malicious ads, because that totally solves the problem!

This comment was thick with sarcasm.

Because people start using Adblock and sucking the life out of their business. I just deployed adblock across the entire organization I work for as a basic security measure.
