How to identify the real and fake download buttons?

Recently most of the advertising companies have started some different kind of approach to get more clicks to their customer's ads with the help of publishers and their websites. That is showing many download buttons in the download webpage of publishers websites to confuse the users to click the wrong download button to download some ad-ware programs or to get traffic to their customer's websites.Most probably fake ad-ware built-in software creating/selling companies are providing ads to advertising companies to create advertisements to download those plugins. Most of the time they are harmless but they may lead you to download spyware, viruses and other harmful programs.

So you may ask me,
how to find the original download button?
how to identify the fake download buttons?
how can i spot the real download button?

It is not really difficult but you have to spent some time to do it (nearly 30secs). You have to observe the following things in that download site to identify the fake download buttons.
  • Abnormal/large size download buttons
  • Big download buttons under some ads
  • Big download buttons with blue,orange,white, and mostly red,green colors
  • Move your mouse pointer to the RIGHT-TOP-CORNER side of the download button and see whether it has or shows some light blue color triangle shape (you can see this kind of triangles in the Google ad sense ads' RIGHT-DOWN-CORNER side) with some text, when you move your mouse over it.
  • Download buttons which are not completely showing to you, and hidden under some ads.
  • Download buttons with fake file size (in the description of your download, you can find the real file size. so compare the both size. but not with the fake file description.)
    fake descriptions normally, always behind some social network buttons like Google plus, like button of facebook or some other ads.
  • Download buttons with fake file size (less than 1MB)
  • Right click on the download buttons and see, whether it is showing Adobe flash context menu
  • move the mouse point over the download button and then see the link, shows in the bottom side of your browser. then check that link whether it is the download link of your original file.
    For an example: if you are trying to download a music file, and you are in this kind of situation then if you are checking the link like i have mentioned then it (that link contained by the download button) should not end with *.exe format (executable file format)).
  • Highly animated download buttons with Regular download and Premium download captions
  • Download buttons inside a big square, and that square with a close button in RIGHT-TOP-CORNER side.
  • Big download buttons in the bottom, top, left ,right sides of the video player
  • download buttons over the player, and inside a big square, and that square with close button.
If you have identified the fake download buttons then it is very easy to find the real download button.

If you observe all the buttons with above methods, then you will find it easily. but, why do you need to do this if we have an easiest method to solve this problem. Because, we can't always expect a plugin to prevent all the fake download buttons, and ads. Because those advertisement companies may bring new technologies to disable our plugins.

Do you want to know about that plugin?

So, get to know the above methods to identify the fake download buttons when that plugin is not working perfectly or that plugin is not up to dated yet, or you are using some others' computer or public computers.
