If you download from good sites, that should not be an issue. Get the download from Audacity's native site.

Lots of 3rd party sites will also have the download to the popular and free software. They are the folks who like to load it up with bloatware and malware. Always seek out the OEM website for downloading any software.

I think it's called C-net.... a popular 3rd party site for downloads of freeware..... man, there's no way I would DL from that site. It's confusing as to are you actually clicking on the link for the software you want or is it for some other crapware software that you don't want? If I can't t find the original site, I will often pass on that software rather than take the chance.

Yeah... be very careful when downloading free software.
