NDTV.com has been blocked by Google for sending malicious viruses, trojans and scripting exploits.

Overall, I as a user of NDTV.com has been observing that the site has been flooded with adverts, pop ups and pop unders etc which have made using the site so cumbersome.

Every page you click on, there will a pop up. Even the sophisticated pop up blockers of Firefox are unable to block them.

For some time, they have been making the user experience sour, we have to see some kind of advert to read the content.

There are other newspapers like NYtimes and latimes - which also have to use adverts to keep their service alive. But NDTV has been the worst of the lot will all the malicious software being used to keep an eye on the online activity of the user.

Hopefully, the managers will take a lesson and also think about the online users and in the future enhance our web experience and improve the usability of the site.

This means stopping all the pop ups, malicious viruses, trojans and scripting exploits.

Lets us see what transpires.
