LOL, yep.  Most of the time the text next to the big green button clearly states that it is for some 
other program but we are at that page to download some specific thing and out brain just tells us 
that nobody is intentionally going to try and trick us.

Well guess what, someone is PAID to trick us.

I find the whole thing extremely annoying.  It usually takes a fair amount of time to figure out 
where to click to actually get what you want.  Often times when you finally do discover the right 
place to click, it takes you to another page where the process begins all over.

Paying anyone for clicks on their page that send people to my page breeds all kinds of scams but 
that is the way the internet works.
