Dangerous Downloads on Legitimate Websites & Search Engines

[Nick]

There are a large number of websites that provide useful reviews and what seems like easy ways to download free software. Unfortunately, these websites also sell ads and allow advertisers to use well known software as keywords in their ads. The result is users often end up with software they can’t remove from their computer instead of what they were looking for.

What really bugs me is when they throw in a dang toolbar with downloads.

Never use to be like that . and depending on what browser you are using , and your location you can see a totally different page with different ads .
