While there's no foolproof way to detect scams like these, there are some proactive steps we can take:
1. Always type in URLs manually when downloading critical software to bypass the potential risks from ads.
2. Make use of browser plugins that identify malicious websites or unverified SSL/TLS certificates.
3. Before making any downloads, inspect the TLS certificate of the website by clicking on the padlock icon next to the URL bar. Look for inconsistencies like a different company name or issue date.
