[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1742653, member: 175845"] Yes thanks Harry, I've seen such postings but I've never had any problems and it seems it can depend on how one does the downloads. I still find it a helpful source for software alternates and suggestions and reviews (even knowing some are just BS) and often just use the developers address that''s always listed with the software and use it to do the download. Neither do I use the old free "MacUpdate Desktop" version I used to have and use, and avoid any MacUpdate Installer app and obvious adware installers. I dare say that many don't pay much attention or read or pay attention what some instals are about to do and/or install. Unfortunately, the last download mishap I encountered last year was to discover a "MacKeeper Install" that was included and lurking with a software download from [url]https://sourceforge.net[/url]. That was a real disappointing and surprising eye-opener. - Patrick ========== [/QUOTE]
