As a result, we have no control over foobar2000 files that get posted to popular software download sites, and we have no intention of wasting our resources on verifying each case. Please note that people affiliated with foobar2000 development never post announcements or files to other forums, software download or file sharing sites.
People creating such installers are often only harming the community by scaring new users away with “pretty” user interfaces that are hard to use and ridden with bugs. Many of them include outdated foobar2000 versions with known security vulnerabilities. We have no control over such installers and can't provide much help regarding problems that you run into when using them. There have been many reported cases of modified foobar2000 setups with pre-configured visuals and additional plugins included, which is - for good reasons - against the foobar2000 license. If you're experiencing suspicious activities after installing, we strongly recommend that you uninstall it immediately and scan your computer for viruses/malware. You should always download foobar2000 from its home page () and not from other sites.
