According to Scroogle, the recent malware visit they are suffering from
may be caused by "tabnapping": http://www.scroogle.org/botnote.html
(see latest footnote).
Even if it's not the case for Scroogle, tabnapping is best avoided.

*The solution is to always close unused browser tabs when not in use*
to prevent a tab being hijacked, especially if the tab is to a site where
you log on (online banking, Facebook, webmail accounts etc etc etc).
