Software I download is software I want, so I just click the enter.
Mostly everything I download is from good sources, that's why I'm installing it. And then even if I had a password, I would still use the password and then install it.
So what good is the password in this respect?
The idea that something from a "good" source is safe doesn't necessarily hold up.
One of the most popular tricks that malware writers use is that they will hack a large, well-known site and install the malware droppers on it. Web security is
hard, and even huge multimillion-dollar companies don't necessarily hite programmers who understand security.
In the past several years, malware has been found on sites like the official Delta Airlines site, Newsweek's site, Time magazine's site, Adidas, and more, and used to spread malware. Also, a common technique that Eastern European organized crime will use is to set up fake companies and buy banner ads that redirect secretly to malware sites, often without even being clicked on.
So only sticking to known "good" sites actually is no guarantee of protection.
