@Jake
I am very sorry and quite surprised to read of your unfortunate MacUpate contaminated download experience which I gather you had done fairly recently or within the last several years.

Did you let MacUpate know of your experience perhaps???

No, Patrick. There was sufficient wailing about the bundling being done already. I had missed it, so got caught.

But, as I said, I'm not going back. Fool me once...

...I would strongly suggest that saying MacUpate is not safe for downloading Mac software is erroneous and quite out of date based on some episodes that happened many years ago to them and others...

So you think that a site, that has without a doubt been known to bundle adware, and arguably malware, with software that you download from them, is a just fine place to trust because you haven't caught them doing it recently?

Has MacUpdate fallen to the adware plague? | Malwarebytes Labs.

That's sort of like saying that someone who has once murdered children only did so for a period of time a few years ago, but he hasn't done it in a while now, so why don't we let him baby-sit our children?

Given that there is arguably no need to ever download software from MacUpdate (you can easily get it from the Apple Store or directly from the developer), and that MacUpdate has very egregiously violated users' trust in the past, I will continue to very strenuously recommend that NOBODY should ever be downloading software from MacUpdate.
