I purchased Leawo Prof. Media bundle which included their Blu Ray copy. It introduced Malware on my computer; caused my Windows 11 to stop working and corrupted all my Microsoft Office, MS Visio and MS Project software to stop working. It introduced trojan software for Norton software that I don't even use. I spent hundreds of dollars to fix my OS and re-install all my Microsoft products. Their tech support was useless. Product should be banned.
This software is DANGEROUS!
Bait-and-switch scheme. The site looks as though you will get 16 apps in 1, but instead you get just one. Leawo refused to refund my money and even disabled the product on my computer! Now I have not app and no money. Shady, shady company.

I have used the BluRay ripper on a PC and now just starting on my Mac. The interface is fairly generic, but does the job. My big concern was a pop-up that asked me if I would allow this app to record my screen! I immediately denied that request! Be aware that you are paying for a 12 month subscription with automatic renewal. This is not a one-time purchase, so get your rips done and then remove your subscription. I am currently ripping my BluRay collection to my Mac and it's going smoothly, but I was concerned that any program would want to record my screen activity! Very suspicious.
I've used the software to backup home movies and support has been very helpful when necessary. The only reason I can see a negative for this site is from competitors.

It was advertised as free software. Free for videos up to five minutes only, so it's not really free at all. It's only a free trial.

The plug-ins of this program is recognized as a malware by my anti-virus program. I think Leawo should fix that.

Cannot convert 'copyrighted' videos (unless you pay)
If you aren't paying attention during install, it'll install adware.
Pros

Cons
Takes over your computer and browsers.
Cons
Program and installer tried every trick in the book to get me to enabled its invasive hijacking of my browser and desktop.
Leawo Free DVD to MP4 Converter 'not free'

Summary
do not cheat user.... this trick show that if I buy your program I should not trust you.
Leawo sells tools top copy your "ip" intellectual property, and some other vendors don;t like that, fearing copyright infringement, so they rate Leawo and other such vendors "bad".
I have used software from Leawo and it seems okay, doing what it promises, and copying our own copies of "ip" intellectual property for personal use is okay by law since Sony won their Betax "time sifting" case in the US Supreme Court (look it up).
Regarding the negative reviews, to me, it makes sense that antivirus software vendors (Norton, McAfee, at al) would rate this vendor of copying software as poor because antimalware software vendor's job is to sell their own software that reports on "infections".
Leawo does not sell infection-ware, they sell tools that are used only intentionally by their purchasers.
Anyone can also use Leawo tools, and other vendor's tools, to copy things, but Leawo does not spy.
I note that those antivirus software vendors also have rated the Microsoft DOS/Windows FORMAT command, which comes with every version of Microsoft-style operating systems for 40+ years, as dangerous (because it is a tool that can erase a disc), as well as warning me about many other modern system utilities from Microsoft, so take their reports with a grain of salt, so to speak.
We might as well warn that Xerox machines are dangerous because they can copy things!
And Home Depot hardware stores or Walmart department stores are dangerous because they sell hammers and saws and nails and knives that can be used to hurt someone.
Thank you all below for sharing, but your reporting and repeating what antivirus programs say is not the purpose of WOT.
Has anyone reviewing here had a bad experience of Leawo's web sites, products, or services?
No.
Nether have I.
I use Leawo since 3 years ago. As customer i am very happy with software, as user never had a problem with site or infections !
So i am realy surprised with some comments and ratings !
Bought a product from this company and they did not send the activation code. Had to play e-mail ping pong with the support desk for 2 WEEKS to get it from them. They were obviously hoping I'd give up and go away. If you want to actually get what you pay for without a nightmare, go somewhere else.
Probably a good site. I have never had a problem but it is a "weird" site. There is no indication where the company is located and the contact info for email is strangle

Why can't they use a @ sign in their email address?
I bought their product from the AppStore and am happy with it. I don't think the site is malicious. I'm sorry to hear that their marketing tactics involve forum spamming.
Scanned with AVG and it passed but after downloading AVG went nuts eliminating all kinds of tracking cookies that weren't there before! Also I don't know how but they seem to be able to hide some content from my Virus and maleware scanners. For this reason I would not recommend this site. I haven't seen any spam comming into the through away email address I have used yet but I'm sure that will be comming in the next few days.
