Am in process of installing Linux. Ubuntu recommends a free open source image burning program called "Infra Recorder" and provides a link to download the software. When you click on the link it takes you to ***** Unfortunately, I did not look closely enough at the screen and clicked on the first link I saw that read "Download InfraRecorder". What I did not notice is that that particular link was part of a Google ad. The link took me to http://files.uberdownloads.com. After the download I started to install the file. All the license and privacy agreements made me suspicious. I became even more suspicious when it gave the option to install a Yahoo toolbar. That is when I retraced my steps to see how I ended up at "uberdownloads". I realized that I could have downloaded Infra Recorder directly from ***** if I had looked more closely. The worst part is that when I tried to delete the .exe file I had downloaded from uberdownloads a window kept popping up asking me to enter a password for various bmp files, such as "quadregistrycleaner.bmp". I had to click on "Cancel" about 100 times - no exaggeration - before I could delete the file. Stay away from Uberdownloads!!!!

I finally made my way through the scams, built in spyware/tracking programs disguised as part of the EULA for the intended program, to a nice program a young developer is working on. I think he would have much better success at a more reputable freeware site.
