MajorGeeks

I don't work there, they don't pay me, and I rarely write reviews, but I have to say its my most trusted source of free software. Please read the cautions; some software is shareware, some is ad-supported, and there are ads that a novice might mistake for a the "install" button. When it says, "wait 5 seconds for your download to appear" wait 5 seconds, or even 9 or 10 if necessary. I always use an ad-blocker, which prompts a request for contributions, and I have sent them a few bucks, because they're that good, and I depend on them. Check the provided user ratings, both popularity (how many downloads) and rating (which includes the # of raters).

The $#*!ing website is full of ads and misleading links. It's hard to know what links are legitimate. It's like going to a seedy town looking for a safe place to pull over and look at the map. You don't know if you're going to get shot or mugged!
Their site has always been sketchy and the fact they don't fix it means they are in bed with whoever on the other side of these links. So you fan boys can stick it where the sun don't shine.
Evil is what evil does...

I having a decent background in pc repair, have found majorgeeks beyond helpful. They have tons of freeware that is most of the time just as good as a paid verion of some software if not better, and they are honest (they will tell you if their are any cons to any programs they recommend as well as the pros). All of their programs that I have used or looked at has a great description and a link to even further describe what it does and how. If you want to save tons of money from going to a pc repair shop for something easy to fix, this is the site to visit, most everything is easy even for the non techies. Finally, They have links to freeware that does not contain anything malicious and advice that could fix just about any possible thing that you could think of going wrong with a computer. Glad I came across this site. Thanks majorgeeks.

This is not a review per say as I am trying to gather as much information as possible about the safety and accuracy of MajorGeeks before I use their site,

This comment is for Darth H.

You say not to download any advertisement or banner which is totally understandable and makes tons of sense but I personally have gone to download something on different sites (Example) A antivirus program or whatever and there is 2 or 3 things that say click here to download, so I think it is for the program I want to download and it ends up being something totally different. So whatever site a person uses can be tricky and misleading not just this site. I do appreciate everyone's reviews so I can make a accurate informed decision

Majorgeeks has been an awesome source of trusted software for many years. But now, there are so many ads all over the screen that it is very difficult to use, What a disappointment.

Sold me down loadable courses, said only requirement was Internet access, after I had redeemed the vouchers it was finally disclosed that a high speed high bandwidth connection was needed to stream the courses and each time I tried they kicked me off their servers, it was only AFTER I complained and asked for a refund they suddenly told me they had a no refund policy and that they did not have to disclose any of this PRIOR to sales due to it would cut "into their revenue stream"

After seeing glowing reviews on malwarebytes.org I went to their site to download the free version and when I hit the download button I was sent to majorgeeks.com for the download. Majorgeeks.com recommended in their "tips" section that before downloading the malwarebytes I should first make sure all my drivers are up to date and provided a download to do so. The download was uniblue driver scanner. I downloaded it, ran the scan, and it indicated that dozens of my drivers were so old they fell into the "ancient' category. When I clicked on the update drivers button, there was a request for payment first. Personally, I think it's wrong for majorgeeks to lead me down that path without indicating that the software they're recommending has a hidden charge for it to do anything. I should be told that before I download anything. I'll find somewhere else to download malwarebytes. I don't trust majorgeeks.

I heart majorgeeks.com a whole bunch. These are my go-to geeks when I need a program or advice or whatever. These dudes have been around a while now and they're reliable. Everything (under the sun) is categorized and it's a mix of shareware and freeware. Yay! Freeeeeee. ( sorry- had an odd late night moment there for a second) Also when you click on your desired link, it takes you to a page where you can check the user rating of "said" product you are interested in, all the info on it and etc. There are very few and far between resource download sites I trust, but I trust these geeks. Oh, and they have one of the greatest logos ever created.
