Annoying ad: Banner downloads automatically and shown in preview

[bwbboot]

Recently i noticed that by visiting a random page at macrumors.com safari starts downloading a file called "banner.php.jpeg". After download the banner is automatically shown in preview.

Havent seen it happening on windows, but happens often on my mac and only when visiting macrumors.com.

The file is downloaded from:

_h_t_t_p://banner.nonstoppartner.net/common/banner.php?i=view&client=otto&l=nl&camp=aktion&size=160x600

I consider this a security issue since it starts OSX preview to show the banner jpeg and could possibly run malicious code.

Anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks
Bjorn.

I have the exact same. It happened just now,, prompting me to search this issue. I have had it happening two more times a couple of days ago.

Attached is what is downloaded.
