In the installation process, it specifically asks you if you want a bunch of other things. I specifically checked no, but it was all installed anyway. And, of course, it didn't even pretend to ask about the malware (including dangerous redirects). Even after I uninstalled and deleted everything I could find, Malwarebytes still found 20 brand new threats. I just finished wasting 3 hours undoing the damage.
To repeat, do NOT install this.
I just read about how SourceForge is starting to add malware into installers. Very disappointing. The install file I have from a few weeks ago has no malware elements.
