I clicked on it and absolutely nothing happened ... running an AntiVirus check just to find out.

One GB bandwidth is well a lot, for a ranger sight at least.

The virus stuff was probably in the ads, very common these days. If you don't want them don't use IE. If you use IE you will get them sooner or later.
