FileZilla with a different name. The nerve of some people aye :@ Although, I do believe FileZilla is open source which means people can take it and change it if they want to. But adding spyware/adware/trojans is not what they are supposed to do.

Unfortunatly they do provide the source code on request, so I think there's nothing I can do to prevent it. I just do not have the required resources.

It's not that simple, according to the GPL it is allowed to publish modified versions.

The "Stop Badware" project by Sun and Google might help you report these issues in the future:
