A few months back I started to NOTICE some odd changes at the FileHippo website that just didn't seem to fit and made me suspicious. Today my suspicions are confirmed. FileHippo is turning to adware and will be using download wrappers.

Source: Take care, FileHippo starts offering downloads via Installers!

FileHippo has turned to adware and no LONGER TRUSTWORTHY.

For UNALTERED software installers use www.majorgeeks.comI stopped usin it a year ago...I liked the update checker. Several months ago it became unusable and they never fixed it. They also started posting spammy "news" articles. An obvious SEO tactic that I wouldn't expect from them. It all makes sense now.Yepper....we seen it before eh ? ?Well if it's any consolation you can totally trust me not to spam you guys. I'll continue to link you to Quality *SPAM* just like always. P.S. I enjoyed your reviews...that is before they were pulled...This is REALLY bad news. Filehippo was great for finding older versions of programs for testing and other purposes.

Still, downloaders are not that bad. Usually you can run them on a VM and then take the file you actually need after it is downloaded. This is how I download stuff from CNET. I hate CNET, but sometimes you can't find another source.Therre's still SourceForge...
