AntiAdware Gets Rid of Related Malware on Popular Download Sites
Greasemonky (Chrome / Firefox / Opera / Safari / Android): The Windows boot world is in dire straits . Many download sites, including popular ones such as Sourceforge and Adobe, include additional installers. AntiAdware is a simple script that blocks them, so you don’t have to worry about being tricked.
AntiAdware is a greasemonkey script, so you’ll need Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome to install it (you can also install it manually in Chrome, but it won’t get updates). AntiAdware blocks adware on nearly 40 sites including Sourceforge, Softonic, Adobe.com, CNET, and a number of file hosting services like Filefactory.
Please note that AntiAdware will not block malware that is usually built into the installer of a given application (you need Unchecky for that), but it will block malware that download sites add. For example, it will uncheck McAffee on Adobe.com or make the main download button on Sourceforge a link to a simple installer (not the SourceForge installer). Most of the time, you can easily avoid these things on your own, but if you are particularly fond of clicks, you can skip them. It is also great for installing an inexperienced friend or relative on your computer.
