Answer:

We've been doing this since 2001 and had similar sites for years before that. Every file is scanned, tested and reviewed by us. You'll notice most descriptions (not all) are our words and our screenshots are watermarked so you can see that we tested it.

Sorry, I didn't see your question sooner. Everything is marked. Freeware, Open Source, Ad-Supported (offers additional programs or advertising), and Shareware. Each file description also has red letters that say Limitations, so you know what you're getting, or not getting.

I am running the same OS as you, and a tech support guy told me that Microsoft is phasing out support for Win 7, and that almost all of the Updates are non-applicable to my machine... and to not worry about it.

Question 5

Question:

My friend uses cnet but every time he puts something on my computer it messes up. is major geeks safer My friend uses cnet but every time he puts something on my computer it messes up. is major geeks safer

Answer · 2015-07-28T09:04Z

I've had a lot of problems from sites that used to be safe. Most sites don't check the file format before they allow someone to put a program on their site. So they add all kinds o ADWARE or hijack virus' etc... But Major Geeks is a better website to use. I usually go to Bleeping Computers though. Just only always click on what you went there for. They will usually offer you a tab right under what you are looking for that says "GO TO AUTHORS' SITE".
