So just to illustrate, I went to the normal FileZilla download page and downloaded the Win64 package. Then I submitted it to VirusTotal.

If you click other versions, there are installers without the adware.
Those dumbasses have been doing this for years. I don't know if it has viruses and such in it but it has had the bundled stuff for a while now.
I wish it didn't since it's a great program.
filezilla has an opencandy installer
As someone who has used FileZilla for years, I am shook and I appreciate you pasting the link
