I confirm it happens. I've raised this issue to our AdOps and asked to remove the misleading ads, it will take few hours. In future if you experience a similar problem feel free to send an email directly to blockt...@sourceforge.net, since we have a process in place to allow anyone to ask to remove misleading ads. See https://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-blockthis-initiative-update/ to know more. Thanks for heads up, sorry for the inconvenience.
