Swordfish-si installing adware/malware
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2014 11:10 pm
In trying to update my setup, I followed a link from the forum, to download swordfish-si.exe. I ran it, and it prompted me for my product key- it accepted it just fine, and continued with a "Free Download Manager" install. With trepidation, I clicked continue. It launched a window where it was going to install the Download Manager, including an icon. It also tried to install InternetHelper toolbar for all my browsers. It then wanted to install PageRage, DomainAdvisor, and PCSpeedMaximizer. I declined all of these, and Download Manager completed, but did not install Swordfish.
In fact, the only thing it has NOT offered to install is Swordfish. I tried it 3 or 4 times with the same result. Kind of creepy- is this a corrupt installer? I did not see any other references on the forum to this sort of thing.
If it makes any difference, I am running Win 7.
Where can I get a "clean" install from?
