QuickOldCar Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Just went and downloaded filezilla through sourceforge and ended up 784 viruses,malware and browser redirects. Also a new optimizer pro that malwarebytes does not remove, had to unlock files,rename and manually remove it all. The problem is the sourceforge installer. I usually try to get my files from filehippo because I trust them more. http://filehippo.com/download_filezilla It's pretty sad can't trust sourceforge any longer.

bsmither Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I discovered this a while ago, read up on a number of complaints about it (Filezilla). There is an alternate URL for sourceforge that does not include the "downloader" -- has a &noloader or something like that in the querystring.

QuickOldCar Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is the link, is a small one under the large green link. http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/files/latest/download?nowrap& I found it sad that sourceforge is doing this, is some really nasty ones in the bunch.
