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 suspicious behaviour from processes spawned from bundled adware.
If you install FileZilla clean, without selecting adware (e. g. via choco) you're still safe.
@saxnot What's really disconcerting is the dev's response to the whole thing.
