Kenny, look there on the left side of the avast Registration page. I think the "download link" to which the original poster is referring is where there IS a brothersoft.com link there ... in which people are supposed to vote for avast if they wish to do so.
So, I'm still vague after reading this thread. IS or is NOT brothersoft.com safe?
The previous install of MBAM that I had in recent times, I downloaded from brothersoft.com.
I THINK the 1.42 version of MBAM that I currently have in my computer, I downloaded from FileHippo.com.
