softonic.com é seguro?

Part of the Softonic network. Intershare, S.L. (in Spain) and Softonic International S.L. (rest of the world), are companies that co-own (the national domains of France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, China, Japan, Netherlands and Poland), its blog http://blog.en.softonic.com, Onsoftware.com, Ongames.com and its blog (hereinafter referred to as SOFTONIC). I have used this site and found the contents useful and informative but that does come with a word of caution. Warning, some downloads include adware (such spyware toolbar or hidden) on occasions some malicious programs such as rogue websites software, and advertising links to malicious websites, besides tracking cookies. Use caution when downloading from this website!

This website does host legit software, but also tries to down malware, adware, worms etc. I downloaded a game but it came with the Worm.Win32ILL which I cleaned using malwarebytes Anti-Malware aka MBAM it is the best in malware removal. And NO, I do not work for malwarebytes.

It adds extensions in my browsers without consent, it is strange but true..... Sigo en castellano: Acbo de formatear un pc, no he entrado para nada en este sitio y,sin embargo, me haan "colado " una extension suya en Chrome...y estoy totálmente seguro de lo que digo.

Can't rely on this website anymore. It used to be good until they turned all their downloads into a single downloader (downloads accelerator, but not even that) that comes with bundled software offers from third-party companies and most of them are potentially unwanted programs, adware (toolbars or browser extensions) and spyware... and anyway there are much better options out there, softonic shouldn't essentially stay alive.

The website its self is safe, as for the downloads it depends on what it is you are downloading. I've downloaded plenty of games in the past and even in the present from Softonic and so far no viruses or anything wrong with my laptop. I will admit once I downloaded something a while back I ended up having unwanted toolbars and one other program installed on my computer even after I unchecked for them NOT to be downloaded on my device, I still can't uninstall one of them to this day. But overall great website to download things from. Just be cautious peeps.
