political issues aside,

when cruising news using http://news.google.ca, i occasion upon various
stories at http://www.haaretz.com

several times now, even though the google news URL is for www.haaretz.com,
i find myself redirected to some scammer website "your PC may be infected
with a virus, scan now?"

not just as a pop-up, but an actual full redirect of the news page.

doesn't seem to happen the second time i access the link from news.google.ca.

dunno if anyone here has contacts with haaretz.com, but this has the potential
to infect PCs.

    President Lyndon Johnson, whose Secret Service detail had taken over
    Pearson's cottage retreat.  At one point, a Johnson guard asked
    Pearson, "Who are you and where are you going?"
