   you could try... but it isn't the app that you are after that is the   
   malware/adware mess... it is the extra stuff that's been added as they try to   
   justify their provision of the file to start with and to monetize it to keep   
   it going... you can either install their crap or say no on most of them but   
   then you might get hit with some web pages being thrown at you so they can try   
   to collect some $$$ via ads on those pages...   
      
    BP> i see this shit happends here aswell, one example was one installer   
    BP> that just downloaded another installer and did not install more   
    BP> then there own installer, gr8, how do we fight all this together ?   
      
   how? that's easy... refuse to use their services... don't get files from there   
   and voice to the originator about your dis-satisfaction of that distribution   
   channel... if there's no other channel to get the files from, then don't   
   support them at all... vote with yer feet! ;)
