Don't try to change the argument. I have not once mentioned anything about
stealing code. That is irrelevant to this discussion.
Who cares if you have documented everything on your website or have
'reviews' on your website? Look at any of the smitfraud variant websites,
you will see EXACTLY the same thing (remember winfixer.com ? ). Any
'guarantees' from an author's website are essentially useless from a trust
perspective, as you are trying to guage the trust of that website in the
first place.

You have not presented one valid counter claim to my supposition that
receiving private executables from unknown people on the internet is a 'bad
thing'. Unless you wish to discuss this point or the OP replies to this
thread, I will not waste any more of my time on this topic.
