FileZilla Client 3.48.0 appears to contain a Virus per my corporate anti virus software when I attempt to download it using Chrome.

Problem is, only a programmer with too much time could verify your claim: combing through all the code, and then compile self. That does not mean I don't trust the FileZlla part of the download. But it is true that I don't trust the bundled 3rd-party stuff. Even Avast, which is (or was) bundled with FileZilla, illegally sold data of millions of people: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/162902/avas ... sdata.html. Including surfing data! https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... rom-users/
Now if only they would lead by example and they themselves stop bundling third-party software with Windows to begin with.I think Microsoft I in it's right to block downloads with bundled software
Microsoft being a commercial company and not a governmental entity, I think it is logical that it behaves like that. Not that I agree...
Well... The big green downloadbutton is way more prominent... (No wonder that most people click that.)boco wrote: ↑2020-05-26 20:42That's something different.
It's funny, as sponsored downloads are optional, but no one ever clicked the link to the complete download page:
