Almost anyone I know that has used it for years or most tech sites recommend it and has for a long time. Not sure what all the talk about malware is, just because they have bundled some offers to look at while installing. It seems most free software does these days, understandable since they have invested the time and effort to create free software for people to use at no cost to the end user. You can just decline them if you don't want the extra offers. I think some people just get ahead of themselves and start clicking when installing a lot of software. It's just human nature, it happens. You just have to read the text carefully when installing, and you still miss some at times. I would prefer they didn't do it myself, but I'm not the one doing all the hard work to create the software for me to use without paying anything for it either. Cons. I haven't found anything wrong with it myself, it does a great job, better than any other free one out there that I have had the opportunity to use or read about. Summary. Those people claiming to have malware infect their computer, no way you could say for sure where it comes from. I have installed Filezilla on several machines over the years and have never had any problem like that. It would be a good idea for those concerned about it to ease their mind, to run your favorite anti- malware software once before installing and then after installing to see when the problem was introduced. It's always a good idea to do that anytime you install any software downloaded from an online source. Never hurts to take that extra step. Even better, if you had the resources to do it, would be to try installing all new software on a spare test computer if you have one, or in a virtual machine on your main computer, like Virtual box or VMware. Short of that, just be sure to run your ant- malware software like Malwarebytes or something, just to be on the safe side, at least as safe as you can expect anyway. Anybody that has ever worked with computers for any length of time knows that trying to keep your computer safe is like walking through a mine field, you can be as careful as you can be, but you just never know when your going to walk on one. Just don't let it deter you, just learn from it and move on, that's all we can do. Reply to this review. Read reply (1)Was this review helpful?(0) (1) Reply by g.

Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (1) Pros. I never actually got to run the software as I spent the next hour cleaning up the rubbish that this installed on my PC. Cons. Malware and rubbish in the installer. There was a desktop weather app, some . I'm currently running a very long full virus scan because it scared the living daylights out of me. Additionally the screen that allows you to do this looks like a EULA agreement for File. Zilla and is in my opinion misleading. Summary. This was my first attempt to install filezilla and will be my last until they clean it up. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. Good software. Cons. The recommended installer is proven to install unwanted malware/adware and in some cases a trojan. This has been discussed over and over on the Filzilla forums. The responses from the developer are baffling. The software itself is great. I'll never use it again after using several hours cleaning up the crap. Summary. Don't do it. Updated on Apr 3. Don't do it. The recommended installer is riddled with unwanted malware. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(2) (0) Please Wait.
