Correct.

If an user ever encounters a proposed install of software they do not have at the moment, and it is on a site they do not know, or did not navigate to themselves, always treat the current window with suspicion and leave immediately! 

No harm will come as one is free to leave as well as arrive.

Note that this infection campaign defeats and blocks the use of adblockers and reputation-based addons in your browsers when on an infected site.

New sites are created by the authors of this CPA campaign daily just to evade detection and cast the net wider and wider to lure unsuspecting visitors:

Finally, always go to the actual vendors site to get the software you think you need, and nowhere else.   ;)
