It seems like all of the typical filehosters have these "Download Managers", anymore... and they are all (malware) scams. They do not assist in getting your file downloaded any faster or easier than if you didn't use them.
When you go to download a file, pay attention to the file download name and if the file extension is ".exe" cancel the download and look for an obscure check-mark on the download page asking to download without the "Download Manager".
Those of you using Win 7 will probably need to into the "Control Panel" / "Folder Options" / "View" and un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types". Otherwise, you may not be able to see that you are downloading an "executable file".
