Doesn't SourceForge routinely inject malware into the little install bundle executables, too? Once upon a time, SourceForge was revered for its good will and the ripples it was making in the FOSS pond. Too bad the site they've become can't close down soon enough.

It tends to make the download link the wrapper software, which installs the malware and downloads the actual software. This lets them supply e.g. unmodified Firefox binaries but still malware you.
