It downloaded like 3 or 4 malware/viruses with the program download! Don't trust it at all!

Not sure what this has a green WOT icon. The download includes a download manager which I believe goes against the GNU license that GIMP is distributed upon.

The software is bundled with malware.

It gives you gimp the photo editing software, but it comes bundled with tons of malicious software.

Downloading Gimpshop from here gave my computer a ton of adware and viruses, do not trust this website at all

The download link goes to ***** which is a site with problems for malware. The installer installed CrimeWatch and UpdateManager (known malware) and hijacked my chrome install with a modified version of chromium called cassiopea.

Downloaded and installed GimpShop. It attempts to install 4 items (they seem to be adware/spyware). In addition, it installed Chromium and CrimeAlert without permission.
Download GIMP from ***** instead.

this site contains a version of gimp that comes with malware and adware . the intentions of this site are suspicious to downright malevolent. i'd completely avoid it and just look up how to make gimp more like photoshop instead.

In spite of the fact that almost ALL reviewers, except 4, rated this site as fake and software includes hidden spyware, adware and other malware, WOT is still not showing this site as Suspect/Red! Why?? As a result of WOT;s incorrect rating I downloaded and installed this application only to have Malwarebytes alert me to 5 PUPs during installation!! Fortunately I have a paid version of Malwarebytes which immediately alerts and quarantines offending files... if not I would not be so lucky and it would be all WOT's fault for their incorrect rating.

Installs a lot of adware programs, toolbars and among other annoying things changes the startpage in your browser. Use the original gimp website instead.

This website install third party software which I did not want to install

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! The installer has some spyware called Taplika.
Some guy hacked the GimpShop site and now uses it to spread viruses. Get Gimp instead.

GIMPshop is no longer maintained. This website actually hosts a fake download manager that installs trojans and adware onto your computer.

According to Wikipedia the source code was snatched from the original developer, modified and is delivered with an installer, that offers unwanted extra installations: *****

According to the maintainters of GIMP at gimp.org, this started out as a legitimate fork, but is now being used by new management to load third-party software on a user's computer.

Скачал с их сайта gimpshop.com "Gimp", по запарке перепутал с официальным сайтом *****
Когда начал установку "360 Total Security" сразу сообщил о троянах, я проигнорировал это и добавил в исключения антивируса. После чего нахватался троянов, "Comodo firewall" начал возмущаться вирусной активностью, после чего прервал установку.
Но успевал нахватать изменений в файлах, системе и автозагрузке.
Не понятно почему у этих мошенников тут хороший рейтинг.
Download real Gimp on *****

All this is is a download site to download malware! This does NOT sownload the GimpShop installer! It is a toolbar addon and more no application!
