And shame on you for not giving the user the benefit of doubt, maybe?

I was greeted by some technically aggressive ads there, but nothing
really out of the ordinary. My guess would be that you just happened to
get a slightly more obtrusive version of the run-of-the-mill scareware
ad, presumably popped up by directupload.net, not the user.

So shame on directupload.net for partnering with pretty obtrusive
advertisers, but as far as I can tell that's all.
