My Rating: 9.8/10 Safe: Yes Children: Yes Viruses: No Reasoning: This is the official Minecraft network website. It is completely safe, and all downloads and purchases are official, and free of viruses. The game is a great way for friends to interact, and use their imagination, and show it in many different ways, but just as many other websites these days, there are bad people that you need to look out for.

I've had numerous issues with minecraft.net, including being redirected to malicious pages that tried to install malware on my computer (thankfully, it was Linux). But recently, I installed Minecraft on my new Windows 10 computer and it was blocked by Avast Antivirus. It was also a different version than the modern one. 1.0.30 I believe. My brother informed me that that is the wrong version. I installed the MSI file, which is their main install button. I did the EXE file and it was fine. Basically, I think that Minecraft has been hacked numerous times. I don't trust their site to be safe.
