Google ads are just links to sites, there’s absolutely no malware.

• drusepth 6y ago
  While Google does admittedly do a much better job preventing malware-ridden sites from running ads (for very long) than most platforms, to say there's "absolutely no malware" is a bit disingenuous when there do exist some sites with exploits and/or malware that manage to get ads in search results. The ad itself might not have malware, but the site it links to sometimes does.

    Yeah that's what I meant, clicking the ads will always be just as safe as visiting the sites themselves, you can't really ask for more than that. EDIT: I suppose you could ask for more, you could do as you hint at and not even link to sites with malware I suppose.

  Why you think that website are unable to control malware or other harmful payloads? In form of directly executing code or something encouraging to download and run programs containing it.
