Does something actually exist that blocks malicious ad networks before they ever load, not just a regular adblocker? Read about the spyware getting pushed through display ads with zero clicks involved and now I don't really trust scrolling news on my phone at lunch anymore (yes I know that sounds paranoid). Already run an adblocker and apparently that doesn't cover this at all. What would you do?
