"download FSX- it's free and legal"

Postby sgt2497 » Sat Mar 06, 2010 11:58 am

hello all,

I've been using Simviation for years now and have recently been seeing a banner ad claiming to offer FSX as a perfectly legal free download. It also occasionally appears as on of the Google text adds aswell.

I'm no expert but it sounded odd so I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Regards,

I think you get the free demo version only, which you can also get from Microsoft.

cheers,

SimV can't pick and choose the ads that are displayed, Google does that. I think there has been a discussion about this particular ad before, but there is really nothing you can do about it. If you get rid of the ads, the website closes.
