The makers of STOPZilla have placed a large Google Ad on the Clamwin Web site, directly next to the download button, carrying the words RECOMMENDED DOWNLOAD. They appear to be trying to hijack Clam users into installing their own software, which runs once and then demands payment, by deception.

Thanks for the heads-up, but that is a regular ad by Google. ClamWin doesn't have any control over them. There are a few more you will see on the website from time-to-time. They help to pay for the website.
