Computer Freeze-overs

This is FAC-related.

On occasion (it's happened 3 times now within the past 2 days) I have been suddenly experiencing computer freeze-overs, and I think it's due to some kind of ad that starts to load on the page.

I open up windows quite frequently on fac, but randomly, a page will load and the FAC page, picture, etc will show up.
But then, as soon as I try to click somewhere or scroll down, it freezes over.

I'm sorry I haven't got the actual url yet, but I've noticed the same address on the status bar at the bottom of the page each time this happens, and the only thing not loaded on the page yet is the ad, so I think some kind of ad is bugging up my computer.

I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this yet, but it's getting to be quite of a bother (I had to manually shut down my comp. once) and I was just wondering how safe that ad might be.

Could you possibly look into this denis? I'll try to copy down the url if this happens again, but that's all I can do for now, and hope it doesn't hit me again.

I can't do much without the URL, but once you get me that I'll see what I can do.

Which reminds me, every now and then there's one banner ad which causes my browser to (not entirely) freeze. I can't click on other tabs with the mouse, and the location bar doesn't update when I switch tabs via the keyboard. It is definitely related to the banner ads, because when I close the tab in question everything goes bak to normal.

If it happens again, I'll grab a screenshot.
