You can report these bad ads by clicking the small X in the corner. Please do that if you ever see any of those, and they'll be replaced by other kinds of ads (and hopefully over time they'll get enough reports to be removed.)

The better solution is installing a capable adblocker.

  That works around the problem for you. It does not solve it.

  That works for me, but then leads to me telling a friend/relative to get the software and them managing to screw up their machines by doing what they think I told them to do.

Hmm I tried this and I see 4 reasons: (1) Seen this ad multiple times (2) Already bought this (3) Not interested in this ad (4) Ad covered content There doesn't seem to be an option for "this ad is a huge DOWNLOAD link directly above the actual download link on a page that offers to help me download software." I did try filling out the form at https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1190500 https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1190500 with this info, though. There was no way to indicate with a screenshot in that form exactly what the bad ad was.

  Interesting, for me the options were 1) Not interested in this ad 2) Seen this ad multiple times 3) Ad is inappropriate 4) Ad covered content I chose 3 for all of them, but I'd argue that 4 would also fit somewhat.
