[chirp_users] Problem reported with Windows download?

I realized the cause of the problem that was reported to me. When I go to the chirp site in a browser with no ad-blocker, there is an ad on the right in the form of a green button saying "start download" which installs malware on Windows machines.

Is there any way for the Chirp site owner to control what ads are shown? Or does the site just get ads from some ad server? I wouldn't be surprised if others are being misdirected by this ad, causing them to go away thinking that Chirp is just a malware site.
