Never trust an advertisement.

I've hit a rogue ad.
It redirects you to this fake antivirus without warning.
I'm warning you. Someone has hacked AdSense.

The fact he has a link at all is ironic in itself, it doesn't matter what it links to.  Even if it's harmless (which it most likely is), there's the chance it's an ad trick.

Re: Never trust an advertisement.

If you want to be really safe, try out multiple antiviruses and run all their safety components and make sure they vaporize all kinds of malware. Also combine Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro with that, and you have an impenetrable force.  tongue

Or you can just use Microsoft Security Essentials.

If you want to be truly safe, don't use the internet.

Ads are very annoying.

My computer is quite secure, but I am still cautious.

Re: Never trust an advertisement.

You know what ads you can NEVER ever trust?

The ones from 60's comic books.
