That's the problem: We should not need to be "pro" to get software - even in an open world without walled gardens.

Almost all software comes with an installer. Might as well just not download software over the internet, which makes it impossible to do anything.

Sorry, I meant a site installer, like those random "download.com installer" software. Not the installer of the program itself.

Generally, if the installer is branded with the branding of the third-party you downloaded a program from, stay away.
