Recently I've ben having problems with Safari, when I navigate to a website (image shack seems to be one of the problem sites but not the only one) it sometimes redirects to "party poker.com" or other such advert/spam sites without even clicking anything after a few seconds, the page resizes and it is getting really annoying.

Is there any way to stop the redirecting and to stop the page resizing itself, or to totally block the site?

I'm using Pithhelmet, not sure if there is anything there that can help.
Safari 2.0.4
OSX 10.4.10

You got any specific links that recreate the problem each time so we can test?

Clear your caches by selecting "safari" for the menu bar and then "reset caches".

Neither of those links cause the problem for me -- in both Safari 2 and Safari 3.

I don't use PithHelmet, and I even turned off my hosts-file spammy-server blocking. It could be a bad ad that's in rotation that has some naughty javascript that comes along with it.

No issues on my system with either Firefox or Safari.
