Warning: If you search "Claude Desktop" on Google, the 2nd ad result is a scam

Warning: If you search "Claude Desktop" on Google, the 2nd ad result is a scam. How is this allowed to stay up? I even reported this yesterday and Gemini is able to identify it as a scam. Why is Google allowing scam ads for one of the most popular searches? The 2nd ad appears to be malicious and a scam to install hidden spyware on your computer which then steals all your passwords via Terminal. Here's the website it links to: https://chat.chatbotapp.ai/claude?utm_source=GoogleAds&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%7Bcampaign%7D&utm_id=23518808628&utm_term=190406837217&utm_content=795570932766&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23518808628&gbraid=0AAAAA9X0Rz2qcMkbnYW5mgRBZdmdvS1Fg&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZfPBhAGEiwAzg-VzCTvmz1qjXNuSEUPWB-T3w3RIwXZ3At2wGhy2ANMWizJnkifmlHlcxoCVdUQAvD_BwE

Can someone at Google do something about this?

most google sponsored results for MacOS lead to a dodgy curl that they want you to blindly paste. Google needs to get its act together, or lose all trust.

It has lost all trust from me by now. A google search for ABC will return all of ABC's competitors, sometimes ABC itself, and sometimes malware.
