you're probably using adblock then.
homepage: right below his link (paint.net 4.0...) is a "GET IT HERE" picture add which installs crapware
download page: pig green banner "START DOWNLOAD" above his text link for the download.
- teh_klev 11y agoOh, I see your point. about the ads (just turned off uBlock), makes me sad to see that :( It used to be much cleaner than that. I'd be interested to know how much control he has over those.
- ZoFreX 11y agoHe has total control. Its his website, he has made the choice to work with scummy advertisers for a larger cut. Make no mistake: He could choose to run adverts that are not immoral and are not pushing malware, and in return he would earn slightly less money. I have no sympathy whatsoever for him - he's directly benefiting from the same scummy industry he's complaining about.
- codeisawesome 11y agoWow. I really admired that product, back when I used Windows. That's pretty sad, Paint.NET was doubtlessly a lot of hard work to create, and it's name now besmirched with this bad decision.

- moron4hire 11y agoI've also been using Paint.NET since v1. It's always had the crapware links.
