Hello
I use regularly Spybot-S&D.
Each time it finds JDownloader.
I use JDownloader to download tv-serials.
Why is JDownloader dangerous for me?
Thank you.

Description:
JDownloader is an adware download client which tries to bait users to install it by pretending to be a downloader for a possibly wanted file. During install it tries to install adware toolbars like Babylon.

The JDownloader ZIP version without Installer (http://94.23.204.158/JDownloader.zip) doesn't install adware.
So this is just an installer problem and not a JDownloader problem.
