Spotify turns off ads on free version after malware attacks

In a tweet, Spotify wrote, "We've turned off all third party display ads that could have caused it until we find the exact one." And in a later tweet it said, "We're still investigating but we take this very seriously and will take every step possible to ensure it doesn't happen again."
This is a serious issue for Spotify, as the free version of the music streaming service relies on ads for its revenue. It is very popular in the UK and Europe and is looking at the US market hungrily, but this won't help its reputation.

I wonder how they will combat this, because if they cannot find a way then surely this will leave the free version dead in the water?
