Its forum of Cnet-downloads website
Helpful
I did not use CNET for a while, but I just downloaded free software via CNET. Before I could download the software, I had to download the CNET Installer. Though this installer was never necessary before, I did so to be able to download the software. Bad choice. CNET redirects your search to Yahoo and installs more shitty programs in the background. I will never download from CNET again

The owners of the site have been exposed to distributing pirating software and then put them to jail for copyright infringing. Be very careful to what you download! :)

Very useful. It recently helped me decide whether or not to keep a "driver scanner" that I found on my computer but didn't remember downloading.
