And you thought popups were bad

CNET reports on the next stage of popup ads, popup downloads.  Instead of just popping up an ad, it also will ask you if you want to install software.  Now I know enough to click 'No' every time I get one of those things, but I wonder how many other people do.  Is Joe user on the street cluefull enough to say no?  Or will they just blindly click yes?

(I'd like to think they are cluefull enough, but I've seen way too many cases of people ignoring common sense when it comes to virus type things).
