I work at a repair shop, and we had a customer come in that said, “I like to click on the ads sometimes. Will an antivirus let me do that without getting viruses?”.
I do understand the curiosity though, just seeing what malware is trying to do can be quite interesting. Maybe someone should tell that person about VMs though lol
That’s definitely not why. From how I understood it, it seems that she clicked on ads because she actually wanted to look at the product, and she was confused about why she kept getting malware on her computer.
We’ve been asking ourselves this about email spam for several decades now.
I think we’re vastly overestimating human intelligence. There’s obviously enough completely clueless people out there that will buy what these spammers are selling.
I heard it said that spam is intentionally badly written because they don’t want people who can figure out it’s a scam to actually click the links.
