Beware of malware disguised as a download button

You’re attempting to download something off the internet, and you notice that there’s more than one “download” button. However, only one of these is legitimate, and the other leads to an ad — or worse: malware. It might take some practice, but it’s important to teach yourself which one is the real one. A general rule of thumb is that the one that looks the most suspicious — maybe it’s moving, shining or sparkling — is probably not the real one.
