File-Converter: Fake adware project url

Open SegoCode opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Bug Report

Package Name: file-converter-np

Current Behaviour

The project URL defined in the package redirects to a page that could be considered adware. https://file-converter.org

Expected Behaviour

The project URL defined in the package should redirect to the official project page. https://file-converter.io

Additional context/output

I have detected that the package file-converter-np uses file-converter.org as its project page, which is a download bait that tries to force the user to download a program called Zamzar. It's not the same software as the download in the package.

Possible Solution

Fix the URL

Windows version: 11

OS architecture: 64
