Yes, the same troublesome ad likely appears on multiple sites.

This seems very troublesome. Its a good thing I almost never use Bulbapedia. Guess I'm gonna have to make it absolutely never until a solution is found. I think the most reasonable solution would be trying to replace the ads. Of course I'm not much of a genius on the internet so....

Is http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/major-ad-networks-found-serving-malicious-ads-121210 related?

We think the problematic ads have now been eliminated by our networks. Please let us know ASAP if they reoccur. It should however be safe to resume regular browsing of Bulbapedia.

I a scaredy cat so I'll wait to hear from people who tried it out already before doing anything. Thank you very much, though!

Serebii's argument rendered useless.

Quick question, are phones susceptible to a virus like this?
I ask cuz I'm forced to browse on my cell for now.

No.

This particular virus wouldn't be compatible with your cell phone.

More to the point, the issue is resolved, so there's no risk at all.

Since the issue is resolved, anyone with a TVTropes account, can you edit the warning out of their page because they're still warning people away from the site.
