If you want FileZilla, here are the downloads direct from the project: Given how they are misleading users, I don’t trust them, and neither should you.

They try their best to trick you into installing something that has full access privileges to your entire machine, and then sell that on to their “partners”, who could be just about anyone. This shit is misleading and should be considered dangerous.

The URL shows me the link to the file I want, but clicking on it redirects my browser to the spyware download again. Then I tried the “Browse all files” link (which used to be called “other download options”) and went to the direct download page, where I can choose a specific version of FileZilla and download that.

What the spyware does, is anyone’s guess, but it asks for permission to change Windows settings, which makes me suspicious. What Sourceforge wants to do, is push a piece of Spyware at you. Went to Sourceforge to download a copy of FileZilla, the Open Source FTP client. The thing to remember, is to look at the size of the download before you run it. How long that link will remain, is unclear. This link gives you the index page for all the downloads, but it automatically adds the nowrap parameter: So, just add “?nowrap” to get the file you really wanted. Now what you get is the compiled installer for the project, in this case an executable 6MB in size. Quickly go to the URL and add “?nowrap” onto the end. That URL will give you the Sourceforge downloader application for the project, sized about 700kB. When you get to the Filezilla download page, it will be a URL like this: I have just had this tip passed on to me (thanks Mike:), and it is brilliant. The list of files is still there, but every link now redirects to the Sourceforge malware-ridden downloader. I would agree however that AVG has sometimes been problematic as I have experienced some of it's occassional false positives.It seems that direct access to the compiled application is no longer available. So I think just delete that file and get a 'clean' copy of version 3.7.4.1. I think there is something wrong with the 3.7.3 version file from SourceForge.įinally I used a Shell Extension Scan of the same folder and AVG again detected a problem only with the version 3.7.3 file in there.
Interestingly the file size of version 3.7.3 is showing as 645kb, but version 3.7.4.1 is showing as 4710kb - a significant difference. I then downloaded another copy of 'FileZilla_3.7.4.1_win32-setup.exe' (which I have renamed to allow being in the same folder) from the filezilla-project org as mentioned above which redirects back to SourceForge for the actual download link.Īll these files I have sitting in the same folder and AVG is scanning them in the background because periodically it pops up its screen telling me there is a virus in version 3.7.3 but none of the others. I downloaded 'FileZilla_3.7.4.1_win32-setup.exe' from Softpedia and it is fine - no virus warning from AVG. I downloaded 'FileZilla_Server-0_9_43.exe' from SourceForge and it is fine - nothing picked up by AVG. Searched that exact term on the AVG website - returned nothing useful. I downloaded 'FileZilla_3.7.3_win32-setup.exe' from SourceForge and AVG is repeatedly nagging me that it's infected with ''. I just now checked via its interface panel and it says my AVG is up-to-date.

Well I'll just start by saying, I'm using AVG AntiVirus Free Version 202.
FILEZILLA SERVER WITHOUT SOURCEFORGE UPDATE
Any attempt to update the application fails, which is most likely a protection to prevent overwriting of malware binaries.Įdit August, 06 2014 : As rmflow say, SourceForge is not trusted source anymore, so I edit this to remove the reference The only differences that can be seen at first glance are smaller filesize of filezilla.exe (~6,8 MB), 2 dll libraries ibgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll (not included in the official version) and information in “About FileZilla” window indicates the use of older SQLite/GnuTLS versions. The installed malware FTP client looks like the official version and it is fully functional! You can’t find any suspicious behavior, entries in the system registry, communication or changes in application GUI. All other elements like texts, buttons, icons and images are the same. The only slight difference is version of NullSoft installer where malware uses 2.46.3-Unicode and the official installer uses v2.45-Unicode.
Malware installer GUI is almost identical to the official version. As you can see, the installer is mostly hosted on hacked websites with fake content The first suspicious signs are bogus download URLs.
We have noticed an increased presence of these malware versions of famous open source FTP clients. Malformed FileZilla FTP client with login stealerīeware of malformed FileZilla FTP client versions 3.7.3 and 3.5.3. If you get filezilla from other site, maybe, could be infected.
