Website is full of clickbait 'download' ads, looks like a scam site #191

I know this is a legitimate product, but both myself and a coworker were on your primary website looking for the actual download link.

We were presented with no less than a dozen 'Download Here' type scam ads, and it was very difficult to find the actual download link which looked legitimate.

If you guys want people to download and use your software, I highly advise providing a download link here on github or fixing your ad situation.

Thank you for the software itself, it's a great tool.

Does anybody know how to exclude this kind of ads. Disabling ads is not an option, it pay for all our servers , software certificates etc...

Current excluding all ads on the final download pages, and check the impact

I agree with the OP. Users might be confused by ads with "Download" buttons.

It might be helpful to remove the orange "Download" button for the downloads (and having a text saying "Download_ultravnc_15.0.0.0_dev.zip", or at least to put it in the left side, so it feels like part of the content.
