They use to have a lot of un-scanned files and contained mostly viruses but then cnet took over and i would say about 80% of the content is safe but on occasion I still find a virus on the site.

It's a good site, but its just like all the rest of the update sites, full of crap you don't need and the occasional thing you want. And now with the added headache of cnet trying to bombard you with ad after ad.

A reliable source to download software.
Note that not all downloads can be safe, some might also be buggy and unstable. A good practice is to read other users opinions on the software before deciding to download it.
