      I once stood behind someone and watched them click on a banner ad that says “DOWNLOAD NOW!” while trying to download Notepad++

      They didn’t see it on the list of apps, so they refreshed the page and clicked on a different download banner ad and installed a second malware lol

        almost all of those general websites for winblows executables seem to have ads pretending to be download buttons, like 100% of the time, it seems like natural fauna of the windows ecosystem at this point.
