    DONT!!

    I clicked on it to see what might be useful to fix a problem and my Kaspersky Internet Suite hit High alarm mode and said this download contains a nasty little bugger of a virus. Needless to say, I didn't.

    Are you talking about one of the google ads from here? I would be shocked if google displayed any ads that contained a virus?

    Could be a false positive. Like TM said I'd be very surprised if google allowed any sort of virus in their adverts. They're usually pretty sharp with things like that.

    If I see the ad again, I will check it out, but I did report it to Google. I will also note the particular warning. I seem to recall it was a form of trojan. Not seen ad since report so maybe it was 'hacked' ?
