When it must have appeared, it closed down the browser and opened up what appeared to be one disguised as an alert dialog box, and another browser window under that. I did not even click on an advert, I was just trying to navigate through the blog clicking either the previous or next link or just to see the comments.

I am not the only one this has happened to

From the other guy's comment, which corroborates my experience, when we clicked the Next link, whilst navigating the blog, that was when it struck. With me it has struck twice, once on my home PC and once from my PC at work. Sofar I can find no evidence that it was on my system prior or on my works PC, which given that it is run by a professional company for the UK Civil service, has top notch security

I do not click the ads either, but this one somehow hijacked the browser and closed it and started opening other browser windows. Maybe you have been lucky and have not yet had this happen to you, but at least two of us have had this happen. (Me twice on two different machines), and the only time so far it has shown up, was on Phil's blog
