I didn't believe you at first, but I just went to install it and...wow... https://imgur.com/a/o6cSW
I thought you were going to show a virus result - the screen you showed is very unambiguously an opt-in screen, it even has the term "Accept" (as opposed to some other word like next or install) making you look at it - if the text said something else you would be very likely to just click it.

I got malware in the installer for Filezilla on my Mac. They shove malware in all sorts of non-windows stuff these days...
You should start using Cyberduck, it has a Free Client which pops up a window once you installed the free version (but the popup appears only ONCE and does not contain any malware or advertisments), and a paid version without a popup.
