Downloading software from official sources is one of the best defenses against these threats. The official website for EditPlus is www.editplus.com . The legitimate installer, which is only a few megabytes in size, is digitally signed by the developer. Any other source should be treated with extreme caution. Even a seemingly "clean" registration code can be bundled with malware-laden installers on many of the sites that appear in search results.
