Fighting Malicious Ads on Download Pages

The image that I am seeing. I wasnt able to get the URLs, apologies. I am based in US.
If you happen to see them again, please send the link(s) to don.h@free.fr.

In my opinion it is confusing to write “See malicious ads here? Help us remove them!” right under the legitimate download button. Especially for users using an adblocker, it makes it very hard to know whether the green download button is legitimate
Can I suggest either moving it (perhaps next to the “Advertising:” text) or changing it to say “The above download button is legitimate. If you see malicious ads on this site, please help us remove them!” (with “help us remove them!” hyperlinked)?

There are definitely still giant, green “Download” button ads:
npm i @minecraft/

Posting screenshots here isn’t helpful, at this point.
And it is better if you just email the malicious links directly to don.h@free.fr , as has been said repeatedly in this discussion.

If you came here to report a malicious/dangerous download link (and NOTE: not all ads with “download” are malicious or dangerous), then
e-mail the URLs for malicious or dangerous advertising links on that page directly to don.h@free.fr
