Hold on a sec are you talking about the launcher cause silly me i assumed you had that and we're trying to get tekkit through the launcher

If your trying to get the launcher see top of this page for the platform you can download it safely from there

let me get this straight -- you got malware somehow during the install process, and that means the site is 'riddled with malware'? Maybe I speak a different language than you, but 'riddled' implies a great quantity and I didn't get the impression you'd tried this on numerous occasions with numerous computers.

We have a solid community here and an active message board; if there were truly a problem, many of us would be experiencing the same issue. So call it what it is... you had a bad experience. And we're not even sure why.

Its the tekkit files not the launcher

so I turned it off and tried again but it wouldn't let me download the zip

you get tekkit through the launcher not on your own

open your launcher select tekkit and click launch done

unless your looking for the server files which is different but always should be done via the home page platform as its called now

There is no malware on technicpack.net, What hit you is a mildly disguised malicious advertisement.

Served by google adsense, I have found it on minecraftforums and msn.com as well in the last 5 minutes of looking.

Delete the .technic folder and try again with a fresh download of the launcher.
