I offered a link to what I consider a clean download. VirusTotal results verify that the sourceforge link points to a modified file which has, at minimun, a pup added.
Both are clean, it is just that the first one is bundled with some extras. Some may want it, others not, thats why it is called PUP / Possible Unwanted Program
if you compare file size ( 730kb vs 6,2mb ) it seems the first one is just a downloader for the program, like the one from cnet and similar
Strange is that both claim to be the 64 bit version, but if you look at the file details one is saying the original name is 32 bit.
According to the description both are the installers for the exact same application.
Strange thing is the two different original file names, the two different publishers… etc.
You would (could?) expect there is just one person that publish things.
LateralNW,
SourceForge is (at least in theory) a trusted site.
But that doesn’t mean all software published there is/can be trusted.
Just an update
I have since downloaded from this link and Avast did not complain.
so I am assuming that this particular downloadable file is free from malware/pup/virus etc.
I noticed that when I attempted to do the same process again (to supply a link to this post) from the renewed link page that the file name was different, giving me the impression that there was a later version based on its file name!
I backed tracked and the link I have supplied is exactly the steps I took.
File details are
version 3.13.1.0
filezilla.exe Monday, 24 August 2015, 3:56:48 PM actual size 11.5 MB (12,098,520 bytes)
all the other files appear to be date stamped exactly the same as above.
