BTW: CNET is not the only entity doing that, they just happen to do it on a scale and got noticed by the public.
There's a class of lowlifes who take popular open source programs, rename it and wrap inside a custom installer that similarly tries to trick the user to install some other, usually crappy, software.
My program (Sumatra PDF) is popular enough that it happened to me 3 times and I know that other popular open-source programs were similarly violated by the same people (not going to link to them or even mention names to not give them google juice).
