We found that some people get confused by the ads on the Sourceforge
site and click on them instead of wainting for the real downloads. It
has become a common practice by malwertizers to emulate those big

no longer an optional add-on, but mandatory.
Are these Google ads? If so, report them to Google Adsense. If not,
report them to Sourceforge. Let's help fix the problem...
