The other day, while I was browsing the Diabloii.net forums (I can't remember why. It seemed important at the time), I got a full-screen popup that said "You have spyware on your system. Please click on this link to download it." I did what I usually do with such nonsense, and tried to right-click-close, but that failed. After I closed it without clicking on any links, I found some new spyware that hadn't previously come up - and I scan fairly regularly.
I also keep track of what windows I have open when I find evidence of spyware. It doesn't always imply a cause-effect, but a pattern certainly can.
If it does turn out that they're planting spyware, I think I'll stick to here and the Basin.
