* I can not block ads that I don't see. AdSense provides different ads
depending on your location and your user data. I have never seen such
misleading ads myself, maybe because I'm neither in the EU nor in the US?
* Google itself has difficulties to get rid of bad ads, so don't expect
me to do that job or even do a better job.

* I don't have the time to respond to every ads that *might* be misleading
* use your brain: if you download something and it doesn't say TSVN or
TortoiseSVN, then it definitely isn't. Every browser has a 'cancel'
button to not download something.
* Do you also complain to other websites about their ads? I mean the
sites of the really big corporations that have much more ads and much
more invasive ones (popups). Do you?
And that's the very last time I'm responding to any such post on this
list or private email.
