Go to filezilla-project.org and attempt to download FileZilla FTP client software for Windows. You'll find that the file offered up is the "SFInstaller" executable that tries to push numerous "carefully selected sponsor offers" on you before it downloads and runs the real installer for FileZilla. There are multiple recent articles on Slashdot about this issue as well.
