Your absolute best defense against this, if your linkshell uses a website supported by advertising such as this or a basic Guildportal account, is to have Firefox running with NoScript active, have your Java/Javascript settings down to almost NOTHING, and keep a malware scanner running just in case to block trojans that get around all this.
