  Are SourceForge's adware/crapware installers flagged by AV software?
  • badsectoracula 6y ago
    Chances are they aren't since it has been years now that the site was sold to someone else who removed all the adware/crapware.

      I should have used the past sense. Were they flagged by AV software (for which VT is basically an aggregator) when they bundled adware/crapware?

        Possibly. I just tried the official installer for JDownloader (which i know it includes adware) and it was flagged by several engines: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6684894d334c9fd629c6586c342ca5ce04bc8b423772a52b95f42a1a73fbc848/detection https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6684894d334c9fd629c6586c... So chances are it'd also flag SourceForge's stuff since it wasn't purpose-built malware but some sort of generic wrapper.
