Misleading ads...
While it's only irritating to me (because I'm tech savvy), it could be genuinely concerning to others...
But having an ad that says "Virus detected!" is EXTREMELY misleading, because it implies a virus WAS detected and they need to download the software that they're advertising. Regardless of WHO it is, they need to reword their ad, so that it's honest, not panic-inducing. Something like "Stop Viruses before they affect you!"
This kind of (current) panic-inducing advertising is only going to insure I NEVER buy or use their software. If they're going to LIE to me about something, to try and make me download their software, why would I even WANT their software on my computer?

Hi Jared, thank you for the feedback. We will certainly share about the quality of ads to our team who manages them. Agree, there are some that are questionable. Thank you for letting us know. In the meantime, you can hover over the top right hand corner to find the "x" from there you can provide feedback on a particular ad. Thanks again!

McAffee "Virus Detected" is serious FALSE advertising.
