I am so sorry that your friend clicked on those ads and downloaded that
software, but for the record the PHP Classes does not serve any of those
downloads. As a matter of fact those ads are intermediate pages served
by the advertising agency company.

When you click on the ads you are lead to another site noticed in your
browser URL bar. If you do not click on the ads for 10 seconds nor click
on the link in the top of the ad page that brings you back to the site,
you are never prompted for any downloads.
