Comments and Reviews
That saddens me greatly. I got caught off guard, I just assumed (given my previous experiences) that it was a normal install process and clicked through it without thinking, and it installed some obnoxious program on my computer. You know it is obnoxious when it magically has an install date of not-today, making it hard to find what got installed because it all happened so quickly.
As the warning at the top tries to make clear, FileZilla stores your passwords in a format that is vulnerable to them being stolen by malware. Bad news for you and the data you access via FileZilla.
The alternative is FileZilla Secure, which at present has been released for Windows only: http://www.filezillasecure.com/
The Mac and Linux versions are on the way. Consider contributing to the project to accelerate this urgent improvement.
Getting a bit money grabbing. £13 for the "Pro" version, and the open source version comes with shovelware. Hopefully someone will fork.
I am strongly disappointed to see FileZilla turns black like this - 5 viruses detected!

As of now, the Windows installer is bundled with adware. The default download page says "This installer may include bundled offers. Check below for more options" and the downloaded exe has a "_bundled" suffix.
If you choose to trust Filezilla anyway, click on "Show additional download options" to download a non-bundled installer.
