Attention, j'ai commis l'erreur de télécharger 2 logiciels sur ce site, et les deux m'ont "proposé" (en optout) une barre publicitaire, ont changer mon moteur de recherche par défaut, mon DNS, et ont semble modifier plusieurs clés système dans la base de registre. Je déconseille fortement d'utiliser ce site, quand il est à peine plus difficile de télécharger sur les sites officiels.

Descarge un programa para grabar cds,y a pesar de que puse que no bajara ninguna barra toolbar, me llenó la computadora de malware y troyanos que aun no pude eliminar.

I had no problems when downloading from this website.

I've downloaded many programs from this site, and have not run into any of the viruses/trojans/etc. that others are finding. All of the programs come in a softonic downloader that comes with an optional toolbar, but you can just deny the toolbar, and the downloader 'unpacks' the installer. The only problem I've had with this site is that some programs are labeled 'free full download' when they're actually a 'use this program free for 30 days' trial version. but that's what you get for free!

Softronic's downloader comes bundled with malware that creeps into your computer when installing the goodware they offer.
Stay away from Softronic and download your stuff elsewhere.

Bundle PUPs/Adwares : *****
Repack des programmes gratuits sans l'accord de son auteur pour y ajouter des logiciels sponsoriés et se faire de l'argent.
En outre, des adwares comme Tuto4PC.

when I get a downloader from this site, I scan my computer with Hitman Pro 3.6.0 and it came up with the file and it says "malware", found by dr. Webs (As Hitman Pro is a cloud AV)

This crap just fetches download links from other sites! Along with bundling everything with Adware, it's not even up-to-date!

It allows you to download something, and when it pops up, it will ask you to download an extra program. Click no, and it will still download the extra trojan program you didn't want to download. It is best to stay off this site.

Antes, hace 10 años era bastante bueno, pero decayo y mucho, ahora contiene muchos programas infectados, te descarga spywares, y ademas te pide descargar un programa para realizar la descarga que pocas veces funciona. No lo recomiendo para nada. Muy mal sitio

Fake! Virus!!!

Descargas gratis a traves de un exe. Lo que no saben es que es un software espia, disfrazado de una aplicacion de descarga. ESET Smart Security lo encuentra potencialmente peligroso, y es por algo. Quien impide que ese EXE busque dentro de tus archivos temporales, cookies y demas por informacion valiosas para las compañías de publicidad en linea.
Cuidado con su toolbar. Una de las mejores formas de invadir la privacidad al navegar es a traves de estos "toolbars". Recaban informacion y la envian a servidores en tiempo real. Esto es para que al ingresar a sitios, la publicidad que te mandan sea de acuerdo a tu perfil, incrementando las posibilidades de exito.
¿No me creen? Instalen un Firewall que no sea Windows, y configurenlo en Modo de Aprendizaje, para que pregunte si aceptamos cada intento de conexion tanto entrante como saliente, de cualquier programa tanto confiable como no. Se sorprenderan!!!

I have used this site and found the contents useful and informative.

Descarga de otros sitios como Softpedia.
Estos desgraciados hacen que mediante un engaño, muy simple para el usuario habitual, descargues su software, que terminará metiéndote SPAM o al menos trackers.

Downloads downloader when downloading files. Downloader will run in background & try to lead you to an adware installation (toolbar, standard search etc.)
