- Mikushi 11y agoYup. Though if you keep the tinfoil hat on, nothing stop a malicious entity to use those network to funnel malware to those websites through targeting, the security of these ad networks is usually subpar, not too hard to imagine an entity determined enough to figure out an sure way to slip in malware.

Many of the ads there try to trick you into believing they're the actual download link If that's your definition of a sketchy ad network then there aren't many that aren't sketchy. Google serves ads that do that all the time. It only took me a few seconds to find this misleading fake download link ad being served by Google on one of the download pages of download.com: http://i.imgur.com/wYAfr7z.png http://i.imgur.com/wYAfr7z.png Would Google blacklist download.com for serving malicious google ads? Somehow I doubt it.
