Those websites should forbid that, but the accidental clicks give them money. That's the problem with "free" services, that they're not actually free, but their ads could be placed in far less malicious ways.

It's reasons like that which make me stick to just MediaFile and Megaupload, at least with those two (if you have adblock and such) it's just one click and bam your good to go.

Gotta love Russian sharing sites... The link IS actually nowhere to be found, and it only shows after you create an account and pay to see it.
Druidshinobi: It's reasons like that which make me stick to just MediaFile and Megaupload, at least with those two (if you have adblock and such) it's just one click and bam your good to go. SkyDrive now allows you to make direct link for files, and it doesn't show any ads at all (this depends on your account's region and other things). Even so, the ads are not getting in your way at all.
Drat: If you're using Firefox, try the Adblock Plus and NoScript extensions. There are similar extensions for Chrome. I don't know about anything for IE. 
GameRager: This. Get adblock and when you spot an obvious bad element/link on a page use adblock to selectively block it on all future pages of that site. Drum roll. Adblock now allows ads! ;)

Well I might let it slide. I suaully only disable the "bad" ads like misleading one or the huge garishly colored blinking ones.
