What about on their own sites? Like YouTube?
Yesterday I just saw a banner ad on a YouTube music video - from Google AdWords - that was alerting me I may need some "Drivers" for my machine and I should get them from some suspicious company called TechSoft or RealSoft or something like that. It was the "dying car alarm drops a sick beat" extended remix if that's of any interest.
I did take a screenshot but don't have it handy right now.
- EvanAnderson 11y agoI regularly see ads during Youtube videos for what I would assume to be malware -- "driver updates" and the ilk. It would be nice if Google would get their own house in order.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoWhy should Google get it's house in order? The best part about being a monopoly is everyone has to deal with you whether they like it or not. ;) And they can punish other people's websites for having malicious ads, including Google-sourced malicious ads, because that totally solves the problem! This comment was thick with sarcasm.
