Is falcoware.com Safe?

As a moderator for an Indie Game community I see Falco Games appearing in my review list nearly every day. It's nearly senseless to ban the accounts doing it as they keep creating them anew on different IPs even, like spambots do on a forum. This alone makes me distrust them. Knowing (I read it on many trustworthy sites, as I was never foolish enough to download this stuff) that they also install unwanted tool strips which looks like an innocent searchbox, but is really trying to get your private data, and even links to malware loads of times, makes it even worse. Stories reached my ears people are being paid to give them good reviews, although I could neither verify the latter, but if you see those kinds of reviews, I advice to ignore them.

These games contain at least adware, but also potentially malware. I cannot verify the claim that the site devs are paying people to write positive reviews here, but I do take them for the people who'd do such a thing. Plus in my work as a moderator for a game site, I constantly see people uploading these games with fake accounts, breaking the site's rules in the process. I doubt the site I work for is the only one suffering like this. The dubious installers with adware come with it in the uploads there. Personally I won't download anything from there, and I recommend everybody to stay away as well!

Not particularly malware, but rather - adware. Installers may contain options, that, unless unchecked, will grant you a few "extra" toolbars or tools of utilities of slight doubtfulness. But you knew that those free games came at some price, right? While developers of the games get their share of the money, site owner has no ethics whatsoever - they have held multiple events where they had handed out RUB 50 for a "good site" rating+comment on WOT.

Да, сайт то хорош! В принципе ничего такого, вполне себе приличный. Да вот одна проблема, игры на нем словно ящик пандоры. Инструкция по применению. Открывать только в песочнице антивирусной программы. Сайт рекомендую, но игры качать и открывать только и ТОЛЬКО в присутствии мощного антивирусного ПО
