I've downloaded a few apps from SourceForge and never had this issue before. Screenshot at Imgur It looks deliberately misleading. Worth being careful - I obviously was not paying enough attention.
Following comments on that thread I downloaded from SourceForge. I'm on Ubuntu linux. The download results in a zip file that, when extracted, results in 4 files ( think screen shot attached, dam this UI for making a post with images).

What do I do with these? I tried double clicking them which seems to attempt to open them in a text editor, before failing to open due to special chars.
When I last installed Veracrypt I had someone more knowledgeable to help me out. I'm sure I recall a gu click and set up experience, different to what I'm experiencing via SourceForge.
How can I install Veracrypt?
In other words, between Sourceforge and Unbuntu, does anything happen to sbcl to make it work better on Ubuntu, or is it just the same sbcl recompiled?
A heads up. I have been using firezilla for years for my FTPing. I just installed it on my new win7 64 bit system. Apparently the installer being used is also dropping "astromenda" adware/browser hijacker on systems. Maybe I missed a checkbox, maybe not... Anyway, I found lots of complaints about it on source forge after the fact.

Luckily astromenda has decent instructions on removal, for the most part. The following instructions to removed most of it (describes using windows uninstall, then manually pulling parts out of your installed browsers):

then ran AdwCleaner ( http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ ) to remove residuals.
AdwCleaner found installer files, some browser extensions and reg entries. Removed all, reboot and ran again. Came up clean.
All seems good now, but I'm disappointed that an otherwise great program is now using this crap-ware pushing installer.
Be careful out there. It's a jungle!
