CNET Download.com added their own 'Download Installer' which has the BING Toolbar bundled with it. I noticed this today. It couldn't have been like this long. I was using them for my primary mirror, as they never pulled this before. I apologize to all users, I had no idea they made this change. I no longer direct users to their site for a download. Needless to say, all this 'Download Installer' does is wrap around whatever you are getting to give you the chance to get their wonderful toolbar, or free scanner, or whatever deal of the month they are bundling. This USED to be against their policies for listings at download.com.
Microsoft must really be throwing some money around to get this BING toolbar out there. I've heard they've thrown it out as a Windows Update even. Desperation.
UPDATE: This started about 1 month ago, apparently: https://upload.cnet.com/8301-21_5-20084419-9978525.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=DownloadProductReview
