      Yes because it’s that simple. Every file online that’s not from some huge corporation is spyware. /s

      Some people are strange - we know what we’re doing, we know a site and whether they have a solid reputation, we have experience and can determine when we’re getting a safe file. Oh, and do you truly believe that the “official” sources don’t dole out spyware left & right? Don’t be this naive; It’s not as simple as you stated. That’s just the general carte blanche rule that experts tell ordinary users because if we didn’t, they would download crap from everywhere under the sun and load up on malware every day.

      Buddy, pal, my absolute friend.

      It’s not like I’m not vetting the source code. Are you out here installing from sources that don’t let you vett your source code?

      Enjoy your spyware I guess 🙄
