Le site techradar.com est-il sûr ?

I just downloaded audacity from their site, after scanning the relativity small file with virustotal. I found many hits for malware. I will never download anything from these guys again. Whats the point when you have many other download sites. Either they are purposely spreading malware or are just lazy and do not scan their user's uploads. Either way its not safe to download from here.

When I trusted this site, I was glad I canceled that download when I did. I was downloading my usual eLecta Live Screen recorder after a reinstall of windows, when there was a strange program on my screen. It was from the TechRadar downloader! I was shocked to find it's external downloader existing, I then left them a little "Why I canceled the download" message. I basically told them "I just want my goddamn video recorder software, not a trojan, damnit!" And that was that. The end. Kids, Never trust anything that windows gives you a pop up for if it has "Downloader" in the name.

I don't understand why this site is mark green. The server my be located in England but this is a known German site that attempts to down load MALWARE AND OR VIRUSES. My Webroot virus scanner click in just in time to stop this file. All domains and URLs listed on this website should be considered as dangerous. Any of downloadable files could be harmful to your computer.

Tried to download ***** from this site and ended up not getting the program but rather, did get several German (or Danish) shortcuts to ***** and other shopping sites installed on my computer. Still trying to get rid of them all. Won't use this site again. Beware!

Techradar downloaded files secretly installs malware without permission and that cannot be removed without doing a recovery or hopefully virus scan. The so-called installer is completely unnecessary and only exists to corrupt your computer. Check your complete list of icons in notification area to see them still on PC even if you choose to abort any installation. This is malicious. Please help stop them by reporting. IM EXTREMELY MAD THAT WOT DIDNT DETECT THIS AS BEING AN UNSAFE SITE! JUST BECAUSE OVERZEALOUS PEACENIKS MARK AS SAFE DOESNT RESOLVE THE FACT THAT MANY MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE KNOW THIS SITE IS MALICIOUS. IN THIS CENTURY ARE WE REALLY THAT STUPID? IF PEOPLE MARK IT AS MALICIOUS THEN IT PROBABLY IS! ERR ON THE SIDE OF SAFETY!! Now I have to run a virus scan. Thanks for nothing WOT. Seriously. If a Mod exists then just fix this. I thank you on behalf of everyone. Next time heed the people saying a site is dangerous. Be worthwhile. We are doing our part.
