Momma said, "don't download anything from the internet if you don't know what's in it."
Then she said "if they put more money into advertising something than they get from selling that thing, it is a scam to get you to buy something else."
I have since used ad-blockers and never download .exe files unless others, en masse, have already made sure it wasn't malicious.
After that day, I stopped getting computer viruses.

You better run noscript or similar on your browser as this a much more likely attack vector.
