Registry Cleaner Ad

Above is an advertisment that recently popped up on my computer — yes I’m running Firefox and it catches most but some still sneak through — anyway I couldn’t help but laugh.

I did resize the ad to fit my dimensions for the blog but if you’re able to read it you can see that it states a registry cleaner is recommended and that errors in my Windows registry may cause erratic behaviour etc.Ã? It follows it all up with stating I should download the trial version of the software which I’ll assume after it scans informs you that you have multiple errors and that you must pay in order to activate the software.

I’m on a Mac so seeing these ads makes me laugh — even moreso than when I was on my PC.Ã? But thinking about it these ads must excist because people are stupid enough to fall for them.Ã? I know there’s better looking “Windows error message” ads out there as well.

When will people learn?
