That doesn’t look like the official site.

I went to the url that was posted as part of the HN submission and it directed me here.

I can’t find a page that resembles your image.

Edit: Yeah I was running an adblocker...

It is a random Adsense ad. The author isn't purposefully advertising malware. He was depending on Google.

Lesson learned -- either make money the simple way. Charge people for it or make it free/freemium.

You can clearly see on the second screenshot the same text and the boxes with the languages etc as on your link. Are you maybe using an adblocker, because I see exactly what the screenshot shows when I click your link and turn my adblock off.

I'm seeing one large fake download ad on that url as well, and his images on getpaint.net
