Another official website or leech/trojan VLC?

Postby Chonunca » 14 Aug 2010 17:55

Hello
on a website i'd seen an advertisment for VLC (download VLC plugin) but when i'd clicked i was directed on this website :
http://browserdl.com/VLC/?ref=172878

i think it's a leech, or possibly trojan link, but maybe you have already known of this website

Is it right, that this site is the only official site to download vlc?
Because I found a german site, which presents the downloads.

http://www.vlc.de/

I were a little confused. A german portal to get the german version, but the player is already in german if I install it.

Yes, always download VLC from a videolan.org page.

Why do you post an URL with a refer ID (affiliate) sounds like spam for me!
