FileZilla now contains adware if you download from the official homepage

Windows Defender tries it best to prevent you from installing the version found on the frontpage due to the adware.

...as if Windows (10) itself didn't contain any. More than 2.5MB of it, no doubt! How ironic to see the pot calling the kettle black.

Edit: if you don't believe me, search around here and elsewhere for "Windows 10 adware". I'm surprised that this is even a controversial comment.

Is it really a controversial comment? Or are people just tired of hearing the same "but Microsoft does this this and this" everytime something positive comes up?

Are you saying we all should switch away from Microsoft right this instant? If you aren't, then what? Let's boycott windows defender? Make our windows experience even worse? That will show them.

There are no relevant search results for "windows 10 adware". Can you be more specific?

In the start menu you automatically get stubs for apps like Candy crush, Adobe CC, and others. You never requested them but they'll install on first use.
