Le site Downloads.com est-il sûr ?

Use caution when down loading software off the site since it has adware, adware down loaders, and software bundlers. The editors at cnet need to do a better job at screening the downloads they offer on this site. Make sure to read the user comments carefully before making a decision.

CNET downloads aren't pre-screened and the "searchconduit" malware, virus, etc. isn't detected by some of the best Internet Security Suites - Norton, Bitdefender, etc. If you google "searchconduit" there are at least 24 million results as to how to remove it. Other download sites like ABOUT.COM verify that their downloads are free from exploits - it is in the advertising. CNET happens to be a well known site and by virtue of advertisement, it is visited frequently for "downloads". Even without the "searchconduit" problem, most downloads from CNET come with other software bundled with what you may have wanted to ***** cautious

One or more URL Scanner reports download.cnet.com as a "Malicious site". Use only with great care, scan each download and installed program with multiple anti-malware products.
