Sandboxed banners
I noticed that a leaderboard ad was causing some malicious-looking pages to show up (unfortunately i didn't take note of the url).
Because of that, i put it in the footer using an iframe with the "sandbox" attribute, but in order to do that i had to put the code on a separate html file.
Is this allowed?

No, because of point 6.3 in our terms of service you are not allowed to create a void HTML page with only a banner.
We always take care to keep clean our banners, but sometimes malicious campains can appear. Next time please report us the URL or at least a screenshot. Thanks!

Thanks, i'll remove that iframe thing, also because it didn't do anything: today it re-happened, and i took the URL: Aggiornamento Java!
It tells me to update to java 7 u25, i have u45 installed so... Also, no java download site other than java.com or oracle.com is to be trusted.

please post the url of the page containing the banner in order to investigate.

NotOnly Linuxoid | Just Another Tech Playground any page in this site will do, i used a widget in the footer (i'm using wordpress). Obviously, this doesn't always happen as ads change randomly each time the page is loaded and campaigns change over time.
PS: Personally, i think you shouldn't allow any more than an image wrapped in an <a> tag to be loaded into the ad boxes.
PPS: The site is a work-in-progress at its beginning.

Thank you for your help :)
EDIT: happened again, different URL, but the page looks the same: http://www.autopartswarehousei.com/I...11&s5=24345867

I did a quick and rough search, and it looks like this article could be related: javadaygood.com | CITTADINO IMPERFETTO
Unfortunately that's in italian, but i think you should be able to read it ;).
