This has been covered ad nauseum on this mailing list. It will not change.
The TortosieSVN project team cannot control the content of the ads. Those
ads defray the costs of hosting the website & other operational needs of
the project. If you believe the ads are misleading or dangerous, there is a
blue triangle on the upper right corner of the ad ("AdChoices" appears next
to it when you hover over it) where you can address the publisher of the
advertisement.
