What's new? Hasn't JDownloader already served malware with the default installer for years, you had to use specific adware-free installers to avoid it?
I’ve never run into a program that manages to disregard as many UX best practices as Jdownloader. It has more maddening features than I can count. Even stuff like sorting a column by date doesn’t work how you would want it to, because it applies some “package grouping”. It’s the epitome of nonsensical defaults, features that maybe 1% of the user base would want and care about but toggled on by default.

Comparing the hashes would be one way
