Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

@entreprelife or just don't use the bundled installer. Filezilla is still a pretty good piece of software. But I agree the dev is a dick. But keep in mind that generating money from open source software is hard (trying to be the devil's advocate here).
