So, according to you two, if an unscrupulous crap-ware author uses FOSS source-code and/or software to push their crap-ware, then it is the original FOSS author's fault?
I fail to see the logic in your statements. It's the two of you not smart or wise enough to put proper AV, ad-blocking, and crapware blacklist software to prevent you from downloading crap. Alot of software load and or use 7-Zip and other FOSS software to augment their own good software as well as many crap-ware/spyware/virus authors. Are you also putting that blame on Igor.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello,
I found that "searchingBar" (http://searchingbar.com) is redistributing 7zip with their "InstallIQ" spyware attached:

Just thought I'd let you know.

Hi all,
Next to above it installs also RightSurf ads... Shame about Igor, got greedy!
Please supply evidence that Igor is the "Author" of those malware packages.
SourceForge is pushing a downloader. FileZilla had the same problem.
