Re: [PLUG] Corrupt Version of Putty

Sometimes it's not enough to download software directly from the developer's site. Web sites get compromised all the time. This is why I wish more software came in the form of signed packages à la RPM or DEB. It's still not foolproof, but it beats the alternative.

Make sure you are careful where you get your software from and never download from a third party site.
