craigathus Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi guys I was just checking "CCleaner Updates" and noticed this pop up ad for a free laptop Has anyone clicked on it? Is it safe? even though it's appearing on a "trusted website"? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although a very crappy one. ) Hi rridgely It just seems so "sus" (suspect) I suppose some people (not me) can't resist clicking on such ads. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if you run a site centered around computers your going to get bogus ads like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
