CNET is for those who know how to update and maintain computers, and therefore NOT for children.

Malware!

Some of their reviews and content can be misleading. The safe tends to be safe, but the advertisements aren't. If you click on the wrong link, you are redirected to a maliciously crafted site hosting Drive-By downloads. Browse safely.

HAD my complete trust. Ads for Scam-Stopzilla & used by stopzilla to try to lend undeserved credibility, lost my trust, with that in mind can be used to one's advantage, just take any ratings w/ a grain of salt!
