Cursor and page goes crazy

I had no idea they had changed things when I posted the link.

Last time I post a link to them.

When I click the Download button it takes me to Fileforum.
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Malwarebytes-AntiMalware/1186760019/1

Never heard of them before.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free Download and Reviews - Fileforum

Right back to Fileforum when I click the Download button.

I cleared my browser cache and it still goes to Fileforum not Techspot.

I have it installed already. I was just trying to figure out what was up as you are.

Same result

Takes you to an external site...in this case MajorGeeks...with misleading ads.

 

[MacGyvr]

It only takes you to TechSpot, which is another sponsor/host for MBam download.

Not the point. Those external sites post ads with big download buttons for competing products. It is very hard for a novice user to know what to click on to actually get Malwarebytes.

Major Geeks is a pain to find a download button- the right one anyway.

That is a shame.

Absolutely....they are probably the worst. File Forum seems to have cleaned up a bit.

Anybody have any info on Fileforum? Safety of downloads?

I never heard of them until a few minutes ago.

I've downloaded from them with no problem. Any of these should be "safe" since Malwarebyte's has contracted them as a mirror download site...it's the difficulty for a novice user that I have issue with.

 

[Hopalong X]

Thanks.

Well I guess I'll add Fileforum as a preferred since at least you can find the download button.

Or Techspot.

I would ask that if you have a problem concerning downloads and new users, that you make a suggestion on their site (comments and suggestions) Comments and Suggestions - Malwarebytes Forum

I have been downloading & installing Malwarebytes for a few years now. I put this program on each and every computer I set up or do repairs to. I also make sure the owner knows how to update and run full scans if the occasion arises. One of the very best programs in my bag SOB tools. For most downloads I use Filehippo. It's fast, easy and not confusing you with a lot of other ads. The link there for is shown below. Have a look if you like and see how clean it is.

Yep, that's what YOU got. What site you end up on is random.

*sigh*

I'll say this as clearly as I can. NOT EVERYONE GETS ROUTED TO THE SAME SITE TO DOWNLOAD.

Rotating sites? :roflmao:Could be!
