Hello!
Thank you for calling SourceForge into question. So, I guess they've become no better than MajorGeeks, Softpedia, C-NET, and most of the rest of the Windows file-sharing services.
So many places are doing exactly what you (and How To Geek) are claiming they do. I've called a number of them on this issue, and when they delete my replies, I then know that they're a part of the problem.
I have used SourceForge for Linux and some open-source Windows apps without my running into this, but no matter what platform I'm on at the moment, I almost always download through the developer's website, or use the repositories. I also user PPAs for the latest versions of titles, when they're better than what's in the repositories. Note that this strategy can be hit-or-miss...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
