Just an update, our ad team is working to track these down and kill them.
In the mean time here is some suggested features you can enable in your browser:
Chrome
To prevent Chrome from being redirected to another site without your knowledge, click the "Customize and Control Google Chrome" button. The button has three horizontal lines on it. Click "Settings." Click the "Show Advanced Settings" link to display more setting options. In the Privacy section, click "Enable Phishing and Malware Protection." Close the browser window. Google now displays a warning if the browser is trying to redirect you.
The Chrome Web Store also has the Remove Redirects for Google and Fix Url Links Redirect add-ons that can stop browser redirects.
Mozilla Firefox
In Firefox, click the "Open Menu" button, which has three horizontal lines. Click the "Options" button in the panel that opens. Click the "Advanced" button and then the "General" tab. In the Accessibility section, check the "Warn Me When Websites Try to Redirect or Reload the Page" box. Click "OK."
Firefox also has a few add-ons that can stop browser redirects. They are NoRedirect, Redirect Bypasser and Redirect Remover.
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer doesn't have a way to expressly stop redirects. Instead, you have to limit the whole Internet. Click the "Tools" button, which looks like a gear. Click "Internet Options." Click the "Security" tab. In the Security Levels for This Zone pane, set the slider to "High." This prevents IE from running ActiveX controls, which is how many browser redirects are carried out. However, this might prevent some safe sites from loading correctly. Click "OK."
