Please don't be stupid
This is the kind of story that makes me despair of mankind. A security expert set up a Google Ad-word add offering a malicious download and an amazing 409 people clicked on it out of the 259,723 who saw the advert, around .16 per cent.
We've said it before and we'll say it again, please think before you click on a link. I run the K9 web filter for this very purpose. Not to screen my web viewing (well maybe just a little) but to make me stop and think before visiting a website that may be dangerous, or attract the attention of our systems department. You can download it from our Downloads pages.

16 per cent?
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator

Whoops, you're right, I missed the decimal place in the original article. Now corrected.
There's obviously a very good reason why I am a writer and not an accountant.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Kind regards
