  1. Forge was Packaged with Forge. When you installed Forge you got a malware version of chromium. I would say that they both downloaded a false version of the installer from some third party site. But I have had a bad experience in the past with Forge and I would like to trust it again. I just wanted to know what ever information I could get about 1.14 installer, Launcher, and Universal.
  2. But do you know anything about an official copy MC Forge being packaged with Chromium?
  3. So recently two of my friends downloaded Minecraft Forge v1.14.2. I asked if they went thought the official install and I even sent them a like and they confirmed that they downloaded it from the official source. They said that it made them download a ton of extra software. Chromium being one of them. Now for friend #1 he sent me his browsing history and its pretty straight forward that he by mistake when to www.minecraft-downloads.com instead of files.minecraftforge.net( which by they way you should have taken down as quickly as possible ). But for friend #2. Friend #2 is a lot harder to figure out. He landed on a total of 4 different sites for him to have downloaded the false installer. These sites being: www.7minecraft.net, www.9minecraft.net, www.minecraftmods.net and maybe more. The reason I started this post was to ask why the official installer/download installed extra software. But now I'm letting you all now that there are a lot of copy cat sites. Though I would like to know if anyone got extra software from the offical download, because its possible for Friend #2 to have downloaded it from the official site. Its also notable that the only thing connecting the two is Chromium and it is important to add that Chromium acted differently for both of them. For Friend #1 it was next to impossible to delete and self-replicated it self. Along with appearing 15 times in task manager with it showing that it took no resources and was 0KB. For Friend #2 it only auto started when ever he restarted his computer. But they did both have something called Web-bar. and Web browser tool bar. But they acted differently. Can anyone shed some light on this. I tried to document this as well as possible and I want trust Forge as much as possible but this is kind of a set back.
