Is this still a problem if I use an adblocker?

Almost certainly not. In this case it seems to require user interaction, so if the ad doesn't show up you can't click it.

I've said for years that ad blockers are the first line of defense against a lot of malware.

Simply put, adblockers are antivirus for the web. Everyone should always use one.
