i just hope that for me and for those that follow, someone will categorically determine a top ten list of 'safe places' from which to download software; cnet, download.com and softonic are the usual places i look but still, there is NOT a categorically safe list and it's mystifying that eset does not compile a list of what it considers safe for at least their paid users and that it does not provide information on how it has determined via its interactive alert why a consequential download is in fact a PUA!
the biggest PITA is to receive an alert MIDWAY thru a download that there is a consequential PUA that you had absolutely no clue about and because eset said so, you abandon that download.
IMO if you want to avoid the risk of getting a PUA or PUP in the installer, then you shouldn't use Softonic, and CNet/download.com. The best is to go straight to the vendor/author's website, the sites I use in order are Majorgeeks, Softpedia, etc....
That's a PITA you will have to live with as ESET is just doing what you expect it to do when you got the PUA and/or PUP detection enabled, stopping them at the front door.
