Help you with an advertisement like the various “you have (3) viruses” advertisements?


We all see these—and other advertisements—on the internet.


Advertisements are common, and some—such as this advertisement—are profitable for the advertiser.


Yes, this “you have (3) viruses” stuff is an advertisement, pretending to be something it’s not: a malware scan.


This advertiser also lied, as websites cannot scan your local storage. (If a website could scan, the sketchy folks responsible for this and other sketchy advertisements would just steal all our data. But websites can’t scan. So this advertiser lied.)


The advertiser would prefer you go buy some app you don’t need for a problem you don’t have, because that’s profitable for the advertiser.


Ignore the ad.
