Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen several computers with en.softronic.com downloader installed. It just so happens that those computers were also infected with a lot of malware. We’re not saying it came from the Softronic downloader, but the downloader is suspicious.<\/p>\n
When you download from\u00a0www.en.softronic.com<\/a>\u00a0 and you click a clearly labeled download button, you’re redirected to a download page, with another button that says Download. But if you stop and read what you’re about to download, it’s a downloader (a download manager). So use caution if you use\u00a0www.en.softronic.com<\/a>\u00a0 for any downloads. We have not tested the downloader, nor are we saying it caused the malware infections we saw on several computers. But any time a company tries to get you to download something other than what you came for, then you have to look at that company with a jaded eye.<\/p>\n Our advice? Don’t use Softronic for downloading software. We highly recommend\u00a0www.filehippo.com<\/a>\u00a0 — a very nice site that makes downloading easy and worry free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen several computers with en.softronic.com downloader installed.
