[chirp_users] Problem reported with Windows download?

[Jens J.]

The ads on the right of the chirp.danplanet.com site appear to be google syndicated ads.
Either there was a bad (misleading) ad (totally possible) which you would need to report to google, or you are locally compromised (dns hijack, malware, etc).

I still don't think it has anything to do w/ chirp website.

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.
