There seem to be a large amount of negative comments about this site, which surprises me because I downloaded a screensaver from it, and I got no virus. I am guessing that the reason for most of the issues probably is because of InstallIQ's downloader, which they use for downloading files off of the site. It comes with many toolbars packed in which may cause problems. If you are smart and have a good anti-virus, this site is safe. Just be cautious and don't accept any deals or offers from them.
