Clean install version, not SourceForge?
Posted: 2014-04-16 16:46
Okay...so I've read many posts / threads about the adware / malware issues at SourceForge when installing FZ. I found the same issues when trying to install it on my new Windows 8.1 Laptop. Also... I ABSOLUTELY RELY on FileZilla. Really need to get this up and running, but have lost countless hours.... days even.... in the past getting rid of unwanted crap software and am now very careful about such things.
I see bogt and bocco seem to feel differently about such things... but both maintain the belief that SourceForge will not install unwanted stuff if you check the correct boxes to decline said stuff. I think there is enough evidence from the posts I've read to at least question that belief.
I followed the instructions to get a "Clean Install" by clicking on the "More Download Options".... but scrolling over EVERY ONE of them shows at the bottom that they point back to SourceForge. So where, may I ask, is the clean install? Specific directions, please!
2nd.... what alternatives are there to FileZilla... like others, I'd gladly pay for nice, clean install, no malware, bloatware, adware, etc. And botg / others at filezilla... if you've made a deal with the devil here and can't back out of it... at least have the courtesy to tell the rest of us!
Thanks!
Mike
