It has viruses such as "Animated Christmas Tree for Desktop". All they do is just cover up your screen. Please do not visit this site.

Many viruses. One program literally destroyed my old XP machine. Also, the "virus scans" that Softonic "runs" on the software are fake. They literally have a download for the MEMZ virus and it says "100% safe". Please stay away from this site.

La web Softonic es conocida desde hace muchos años en España por incluir publicidad en sus descargas, no os recomiendo bajaros nada de esa web.

Hi, I want to say that Softonic is safe. Softonic is safe. I downloaded a program from there, but I did not encounter any viruses. I also use Mario and other programs easily. I understand people. When the antivirus gives a signal, they think the program is infected. Wrong idea. Antiviruses try to delete automatically when you install a program. Because antiviruses do not allow changes to be made to the computer. SHORT SOFTONIC Safe

Offers freeware, but many people take advantage of this and therefore release dangerous programs on this website

Mucho software "de regalo" incluido en los instaladores. Está claro que se lucran incluyendo esos instaladores dentro de los programas que uno se descarga del sitio. Nada recomendable, tu pc acaba con varios programas extra que no te interesan, y que además algunos de ellos son "basura".

TERRIBLE. There is a lot of pirated games on the site and every single one of them is infested with viruses. Never download from this website.
