CNET has sunk to an all time low by endorsing political, social, and TERRORIST groups. Keep that garbage off the site and return to your technical expertise. You have lost your credibility when you swung far off topic.

What an informative site! 5 stars!

Tones of apps, very poor /no curation! You should FIRST try to verify reputation & download a security scanned app from the verified original vendor site, or authentic/true source site, using your computer's limited user ID. If there is none, Ask yourself why!?! If you cannot find that, it is very likely that the app you want is originally or has been replaced by a phishing app. Some companies offload their loss-leader free/trial apps, but do no more QA on the apps abandoned to CNET. All but 1 of the 6 apps I found here were fake or older than the authentic apps or browser extensions.

Awful site. Full of viruses, plays awful sounding noises in the background, and just in general is not good. Save yourself the trouble and go to a more trustworthy site.

Contains annoying auto-audio malware which hijacks your audio system without your permission to play ads. This behavior is unacceptable especially when the video ad is hidden at the bottom corner of the screen and you have sound blasting with the potential to damage your home theater sound system, damage your ear drums, and the possibility of personal injury when a person is startled by such loud noise. Update: You can now block cnet from appearing in your browser search. Firefox users install "Personal Blocklist" addon to block cnet from appearing in search results.
