I was trying some kind of YouTube download extension for Safari, can't even remember the name at the moment. (Safari 6.2.8 running on OS 10.8.5) I routinely run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac, since I have it and it takes but a few moments. And this time, it had two "hits" for [what I think it called] adware related to the new extension. It offered to remove it, and I clicked ok. It showed the stuff as having been removed. Subsequent re-runs of Malwarebytes show nothing to report. Aside: I've noticed that the latest versions of Safari don't seem to cooperate with any older extensions designed to grab video from YouTube. Things that still work back in 10.8 won't work or even install in Safari 10.x on El Capitan. I'm going to guess that Apple has come to some agreement with YouTube (that's google, is it?) to actively block downloading of content, whether it be through Flash or HTML5. On the other hand, Firefox and Opera both can still do the job quite well.

All three of those services are well-known for modifying installers on their sites to add adware to them. As a rule, I never download software through third parties. And I also always look at the file listing in Apple's installer app (available in the menu bar once the installer is running) to see exactly what will be installed.

Nah. It's all Youtube trying to prevent people from downloading their videos. Apple's not involved. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I agree about going to the developer's site, and also about VersionTracker and CNET. Are you correct about MacUpdate? I know that they introduced this at one point and got a very negative response from users. I never heard if the went back to the better policy as a result or if they stayed with including adware. They lost me when they started this, so I never checked to see if they still do it. -- <http://www.decohen.com> The Labyrinth of the Heart: Changed Myths for Changing Lives book and e-book <http://www.decohen.com/labyrinth.htm> Send e-mail to the Reply-To address, not the From address.

I recall a period where selected items would give you a download of something infested with adware and/or try to install MacUpdate Desktop. This prompted enough complaints that I think they stopped, until they came up with a new scheme. > I never heard if the went back to the better policy as a result or if they > stayed with including adware. They lost me when they started this, so I > never checked to see if they still do it. The revised scheme (in the order of two years ago) appeared to be that all downloads gave you adware or MacUpdate Desktop instead of what you wanted, unless you were signed into the web site (even with a free account), in which case the download was not modified. I continued downloading files via MacUpdate during this phase. I stopped downloading anything from them recently, when I found that a download had been modified despite the fact that I was signed in to the MacUpdate web site. I now only look at their main page occasionally to see if I've missed any updates of things I have installed but haven't used recently. I then go directly to the developer's site (not via MacUpdate's detail page or developer link) to do the actual download. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

I've used them for about four years and have had no problems with adware. A couple of years ago they were messing up some downloads though, leaving the program inoperable. For this reason I started using their system only to *find out* which of my apps needed updating, and then updating them myself. They managed to correct that issue and so for about two years I've let them do the updating of apps directly. Again no issues. Recently they set it up so they will only update 5 apps each month for free, but if you subscribe they'll do as many as you deem necessary. Again, I've had no issue with them relative to adware.

No. At some point in the past I was a subscriber, I believe. But I was spending a lot of time overseas and away from the computer, so I unhooked from them. Since then I have only used the app occasionally to see what needed updating. I additionally make use of their periodic software bundles where I've managed to get discounts on software I find too expensive. They have recently changed their modus operandi and are now charging $20/6 mo. for their service. > IIRC, they don't foist adware installers > on their paying customers (oh, how gracious of them to extort money just > for ad-free installers!

It's very rare that I would go to MacUpdate's page directly to download an update for a program; I tend to go to the software company's page directly. I always appreciate your recommendations, and certainly give them great credibility. But it does make me wonder how MacUpdate could have financial arrangements with so many significant software companies with their "bundleware" discounts if they produced adware installations.

Apparently most of the MacUpdate offenses took place in late 2015 and may have extended into 2016, accompanied by hand-wringing by those folks, including developers, who trusted MacUpdate. I see no indication of a mea culpa on their part, on the other hand all the chatter on the topic seems to be limited to a period from late 2015 until early 2016. I wonder if they have cleaned it up. It's no way to run a business, that's for sure; one significant lapse of ethics is certainly enough for a lot of people to pull the plug. Had I experienced it in November of 2015, I feel sure I would have done the same. But I didn't. Unfortunately for MacUpdate's new paradigm ($20@6 months), I was teetering on subscribing and will have to reassess.
