Have any of you heard about SourceForge's recent takeover/highjacking of GIMP for Windows and Nmap? This was a bit of a shocker to me. It seems to be a way of forcing the inclusion of adware in downloads, for popular projects that don't agree to it.
If this is the case, what's the method to get SF programs for Windbloze that doesn't install unwantedware? Surely there's a workaround?
Ya, like Wyatt said, the worst thing is the fake download buttons that take you to unwantedware sites. Doesn't trick us MUUGers, but 99% of my customers fall for it, and guess who gets to clean it up...
