Google announced they are now blocking searchers from accessing web sites that contain deceptive download buttons. They will show a big red warning after the user clicks on the search result that warns “deceptive site ahead.”

- Try to trick you into doing something you’d only do for a trusted entity — like sharing a password or calling tech support.
Here are some examples of these deceptive ads:
