GIMP flees SourceForge over dodgy ads and installer.
Another download site that needs to be avoided.  :'(
If you have no choice at least be aware of potential CrapWare included with your download.

Do you not think Bob knows that !

The point in this topic is to warn others about security related issues and phishing emails are just one such instance.
