Hi Coolmario88 and Pondus,

Thanks for reporting this.
IDS alerts on downloads from that fake site.
WOT also flags it with a red and a yellow: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/s0ftpedia.org?utm_source=addon&utm_content=contextmenu
Dareks67 reports it on WOT also as a PHISH and a scam.
BrightCloud gives it a meagre 40% and a suspicious webrep status.
Here also given as scam: http://www.scamvoid.com/check/s0ftpedia.org
See: http://www.phishtank.com/phish_detail.php?phish_id=2909497
It also offers a PUP: https://blog.malwarebytes.org/online-security/2014/09/imitation-softpedia-site-offers-up-a-pup/
