I had an odd experience with ImageBam about a week ago. I clicked on a thumbnail in a post here and the page opened in a completely different site, or rather it didn't because Avast blocked it, so I have no idea what was on it. It was called something like bbyzk.clicktracks.com, and I looked up clicktracks.com (or whatever it was) and it was selling those curtain rails that go round hospital beds, but this site had just filched half of its name. I tried clicking on the thumbnail again but it opened as normal, no matter how many times I tried. It wasn't a pop-up though, just some kind of redirection, and I have AdBlock installed so that isn't a surefire protection.
