www.free-vlc.com - legit or scam?

Postby DaBam » 09 Jan 2013 16:12

Hi,

is this site legit or scam?
http://www.free-vlc.com/

It offers the regular VLC but wrapped into another installer with advertizements. When you click on "contact" it redirects to this site here http://www.videolan.org/contact.html
Its start page has a professional representation which looks very much like this site here. VLC claims "no ads", but the installer on this site contains ads, so what gives?

Regards
