Im going to be very brief but banner ads on some of the larger p2p sites are responsible for redirects and ultimately malware(trojans,trojan downloaders etc.)
If you use FireFox and visit these sites i suggest:
No Script:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
Ad Block Plus:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
If you've been infected, this is an effective and free virus removal program:

AVG Free typically stops all of those, and I also use IE7 Pro which has ad blocker.

Care to elaborate? I haven't heard anything about this, aside from them working with adblock, which doesn't make it garbage.
