CNET

I love this site. I am far from being an expert in anything related to computing, but I get by. This site provides good reviews on the products out there and interesting articles to help consumers make informed choices. They are a hub for useful downloads too.

I mainly come here for reviews, those are pretty decent. Concerning the downloads - got some drives couple of times without any problems. Yet its not the experience to say all the files are perfectly safe.

Amazing website for tech related information. The articles are based on latest trends and they are so informative. CNET provides tech product reviews, news, prices, videos, forums and more. I really like this site.

For techno-no-nothings like me, this site is super. Anything you can imagine in the electronic/software/gadget/techno world can be found on cnet.com. Product reviews, ratings, how-to-use-product videos and best prices at available stores - all this and more is there for you to do your "pre-shopping" research. These folks make me look smart!

When ever I need to download software I get it from cnet.com. I like it because they make sure the files are clean and also you can get a lot of customer reviews before you download anything. Some of the best utilities I have found I found on Cnet. I also find their product reviews for electronics to be very good as well. I can't say enough about them.

Like Kevin said, this used to be a reliable, trustworthy site. Now, their reviews are untrustworthy and often manipulated. I've spent hours removing malware from infected downloads which they said were malware-free.

For buying a big screen TV, good content, difficult to navigate - I just embarked on the process of buying a new HDTV and found that Cnet.com was a valuable, but difficult to navigate, source of information. While they have reviewed nearly all of the top selling products in significant depth, they have failed to create an easy to use summary section that is constantly updated with new reviews and updates. I often found myself reading and re-reading reviews because they were in multiple locations or because they did not provide a summary view of most recent reviews. I just want them to give me their top-5 recommendations by size or by specs and let me compare and contrast, instead of giving me hundreds of reviews.

My sense is that they are conflicted by all of the advertising on their site, and that they can't be as candid or strong in recommendations as they'd like to be.

Allen tyner also know as sailor bacon or sailor allen is an admin for their site gamefaqs.com and has been charged with dozens of sexual misconduct cases with kids and has even brought on friends he knows as mods and groomed young users there.

I used to really trust this site but not since last software download installed nasty bloatware on my Win 7 PC. I will never download from them again unless I have to. Unfortunately, this bad experience makes me wonder about their tech reviews too.

Cnet is a site that informs you on software and tech. It has all types of software some free some free to try others buy now ect. The best thing is that you can read not only user and company reviews. It has the number of downloads and non bias comments. The downloads are always safe and reliable. It is easy to navigate through and no gimmicks. Free to register. This is the site i use to download anything.

I started to download a program from this website and my Antivirus detected a Trojan.
I thought it was a temporary problem as CNET.com had been a reliable site to use for years. I assumed they would fix it. About a year later I tried it again and again there is a Trojan in a downloader application. They are aware of this and do nothing.

Fortunately my AntiVirus picked it up but I would imagine many had computer problems caused by this Trojan. I give in a quadruple minus 1.

I use cnet to find freeware (not trial version) or to check reviews about software I propose to buy. Each item shows how many users have downloaded it and their reviews.If you need help with how to, cnet has tutoring videos and text, detailed instructions, on many topics. I trust the site and rely upon staff reviews.

I have used cnet.com for sometime and have always been pleased with their product reviews on electronics. However, if you start a search for, lets say (software) at the bottom, on some of the result webpages they have (Sponsored Links) using these links your on your own and they are not endorsed by cnet.

Excellent site to find excellent reviews and information on all different aspects of technology plus the site also allows one the ability to download important pieces of software that can help in the maintenance of their computer.

Simply a great site.

Cnet is a great place to get a professional's and other users' opinions about computer software and downloads. In my case, I use them strictly for that and for free downloads of standard programs like AVG anti-virus, winrar, Vuze, FLV converters, etc. You can see how many downloads it's had, star ratings and user reviews. There are also programs that you have to pay for, making it easy for you to get without having to go to the store. The whole thing's safe and super easy.

I always used to download programs directly from cnet because I know that they come from the original source and do not have viruses. Which is still true, but I think the quality of programs that they show has declined.

Recently, I am disappointed to say that I downloaded something that came with another program, which was at best adware, but you could say spyware. I can no longer download from them with as much confidence as in the past.

I do enjoy their ratings, but now will have to be more careful about what I download.

I find Sitejabber a useful tool when buying products. Being able to read about people's experience with a company, I am able to weigh up all the different angles to buying an item. It can give me an insight to how the company functions, from how easy it is to order, the product itself, how the company performs about returns and hints and tips

I trusted their review and it contain ed misleading information. It said that a lot of the features of the JBL 5 speaker were the same as JBL 4 and that it had speakerphone capabilities like its predecessor. It does not.

I was looking for a Mac application and thought I found it at Cnet. Right after clicking Download malware took over my browser and started downloading something different from what I expected. I turned off the modem, switched to backup drive and ran Sophos on the affected drive. Sophos found and deleted the malware.

The only thing worse than a lie is a lie with truth mixed in.
The only website worse than a bad one is one that earns your trust then stabs you in the back.
Used to be a dependable, safe download site. Now downloads are shamelessly filled with spyware, malware, adware, you name it. Really started messing with my computer. Good thing I had avast! Updated.
As a long time user of this site, I admonish everyone to stay away from it.

Two days ago I would have given CNET 5 stars, in preparing for my MTA test I found a practice test on CNET, hoora! It was a download, my first instinct was "don't do it" but hey... it's CNET. I spent an hour trying to get my machine back and it's still $#*!ed up, thanks for selling out guys.

Used to be good now they make you download their downloader and you end up with bloatware you did not want
Also funny fbi did not investigate them for providing links to programs that can download and play pirated movies it is owned by CBS how about that I no longer trust this site
Found better options
