Download.com and the rest
So are Google going to block all the "free download" sites? It is getting annoying that even the "legitimate" sites now play this malware game.
Trying to use any of those free download sites is a game of hunt the button. A minefield of scummy adverts distracting the user from the real Download Now button. Press any one of them, and you have scummy software on the machine.
But even when you do navigate to the correct button, there is then the installer package that has been added to the product by the hosting website. So many hidden buttons, triple negatives, and just plain scams added to the installers it makes it a puzzle game to get through even for the most paranoid of techs!
And, of course, many of these are sticking in these dodgy certificates... It is getting nasty out there for the average home user.
Funny little experiment at Happy to Geek where they install the top ten apps from Download.com
