Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

@entreprelife for the second time. As the lead Filezilla dev was the first person to opt into and an early champion of sourceforge's malware bundling monetization attempts five or more years back.

Time for people to just ditch the product. The dev cannot be trusted.
