[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1160058, member: 17766"] In the case of FileZilla it seems to affect active projects as well (recently updated on their homepage), just tried it in different browsers and the download links do change randomly for their client software: [URL]https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client[/URL] if you click download from sourceforge you will land on the sourceforge.net download page however it will automatically serve you with an adware embedded installer called "PUA/InstallCore.JM" which gets blocked by Avira. uBlock lists a few cases of it: [URL]https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Badware-risks[/URL] Not sure if switching to Github entirely would be better as they have no statistics and such but wouldn't trust sourceforge at all at this point so might be worth discussing with the team :) [/QUOTE]
