I'm not generally in favor of the death penalty, but I‘d consider it for people who use ad networks to serve fake 'Download' or 'Start’ buttons on download pages, in the hope of tricking users into clicking the wrong button & infecting their machines with #malware.

And I would support savage beatings for the executives of any ad network that enables this. (Looking at you, Doubleclick).

Tip: do NOT run advertising on download pages unless you want your site turned into an attack vector.
