If this was the case then usual browser behaviour is to prompt to download - since it doesn't know what else to do with it. (?) | |

I don't think any kind of legitimate "push" advertising should prompt you to download something - unless it's "broken"? What browser are you using? | |

| Sep 24, 2015 at 2:11 | comment | added | closetnoc | I am sure it is not the ad size but the ad type. I do not know what this push is, however, when I am other sites (using Chrome) some video ads ask me to install something I do not have. I have flash updated and so most ads work just fine. But some sites use these annoying video ads that chew up my CPU and sometimes ask me to download something. It could be something along the same lines but not necessarily video like what I see. | |
