I don't think it's good, most of them keeps you redirecting to someplace else. Use Adblock you will not see them again.

Well I think if ad is part of google advertising they somewhat check it before and make sure that indeed it is clan. But from the other side why would you want to click on ads?

Generally, if Google posts them they should be safe, but you should look at the ad first and make sure the company seems reputable. I've never had a problem, but your mileage may vary.

It's very unlikely for a Google Ad to link to a page which will infect your computer. That being said, why click on ads? Heck, just install AdBlock. It will make your life a lot easier.

When I say safe, I mean will it contract viruses/malware/wallet stealing trojans, etc on your computer?

It is 99% safe to click, google check on their ads regularly but not immediately.

ads in general should never be trusted because they can be the start of viruses and give you malware.

They don't verify all their add customers, so there is aways a risk

Also you never know if the announcer is legit or not.


Better use addblock or just ignore them

Google ads tend to review submisions more strictly. But besides that, there have been cases of phisong attempts through them. I'd recomend you to use adblock to avoid ads in general. Some other ads feature more controversial content, ransowmare and malware in many cases.

Yes, this is true.
I'm doing Google ad words campaigns for my clients and Google ads really help their business by bringing visitors (who are searching for their offer) to their site.
So, advertisers get more visits to their site and users more easily find what they are interesting for.
Google s very strict with their ads so generally I think this ads are safe.
If you have good antivirus program on your computer you don't need to worry to much.

Most google ads are safe, google have staff review those website...

yes, they do

but they can change the content of their website anytime

there's a chance the google team won't notice the update while the ad is displayed

better to be safe then sorry

Basically I would never click on those ad. And yeah, I'm using AdBlock.

But it's usually promoted sites on google that are the problem.

I think it safe, I'd never get problem with that.

It's not. Google doesn't really screen their ads. They've even put up fake blockchain.info phisihing links before.
