A really good fake MuseScore download site

• May 27, 2016 - 22:00

I just stumbled across a website called MuseScoreDownload . com (I don't want to actually link to them, but you can type it in your address bar). It's your typical third party pretending to be MuseScore's official site, and I don't recommend downloading whatever it is they want you to download. What strikes me about it is how well-done the whole thing is. It seems to me that it does a better job of selling the software than MuseScore.org does. There may be a leaf or two from that book to be studied.

When I open this website and click on "Download Free Now" my antivirus (NOD32 by ESET) blocks the page because of dangerous contents.

Like I said, DON'T DOWNLOAD WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DOWNLOAD!

The people who set up that site seem to know and love MuseScore a lot, but not enough not to turn their MuseScore appreciation site into a malware trap. All the pages on that site are worth reading, because they describe and "sell" MuseScore really well—but what they're selling is fake, and undoubtedly dangerous.
