Since our company name is being slandered here I must defend myself. We don't add anything third party, never had. I know some download sites do, but we have never done it and believe me, we lost a lot of money by not doing it. BitTorrent, however, does at this time install two third party programs as clearly seen in the screenshots with "Recommended By BitTorrent".

We don't provide support for versions downloaded from 3rd party sites.

You said it yourself, some sites DO add full on malware installers to downloads they offer.

The main reason we don't provide support for versions downloaded from 3rd party sites is that people usually download old versions from those sites and complain about bugs that have been fixed in recent versions.
