Check the domain
The real download lives on keka.io. Look-alike domains and search ads are the most common trap.
Skip mirrors
Download portals can wrap installers in adware or old versions. You never need them for this app.
Verify if you can
If the publisher lists a checksum, compare it with our in-browser checker before running the file.
Watch the installer
Untick extras, browser changes or trials you did not ask for.
