XLD -- where to download

Hi

Just bought a new Macbook. I've been using XLD on my old Macbook Pro happily and would like to download it to the old one.

However whenever I try I get a virus called Tuneupmymac or Tunemymac that locks onto my Safari homepage forcing it through Bing. It's agony to get rid of.

Also the Macbook blocks XLD from working.

When I google "XLD mac" I get myriad results -- which is the safest one to download it from?

Thanks

 

The current one (as of this writing) is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xld/files/xld-20140504.dmg/download

As for the MBP blocking it, newer versions of OSX do this by design. You can override by going into System Preferences > Security & Privacy and then either changing the "Allow Apps" to "Anywhere" (not recommended) or just do an ad-hoc allow for XLD, if you trust the source. Sourceforge is, tmk, a pretty trustworthy source.

 

Here's the developer's official project page with all kinds of info about XLD:

Note that the link to download on the developer's site also points to sourceforge.net as referenced by Gaslight.

 

Many many thanks, Gaslight and Konoyaro.

 

Viruses? On a Mac? I thought that was impossible. At least it seems that way in every Windows thread...

 

Softonic maybe?

 

I'm no Mac user, but it looks indeed like the XLD download came with added trialware TuneUpMyMac.

That's annoying, but it's not a virus attack. Even Adobe now does this with their Flash downloads, which by default (if not unselected before starting the download) come with an installation program for a trialware antivirus.

Download X Lossless Decoder here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xld/files/xld-20141129a.dmg

If you are Windows users, download XLD for Windows here.

But you should first know that XLD has not upgraded for long time.
