I've done a bit more investigation. The web site is probably clean. These attacks are probably coming from a compromised ad server. ScanSafe Quote: "Online ads have become a primary target for malware authors because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide audience. In many instances, the malware perpetrator can leverage the distributed nature of online advertising and the decentralization of website content to spread malware to hundreds of sites. So you might encounter these attacks at any site, because almost all sites serve up ads to you. And you're correct that FireFox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript is safe from these attacks. Using a Linux or Apple operating system is even safer. I dualboot to use Linux for browsing and only go into Windows when necessary. Nowadays you can also use virtualization to run several operating systems at once. Cooperative Linux also runs happily alongside Windows.
