I will agree that their downloads are a bit easier to navigate than cnet. No frills, just the simple facts about a DL. Their advice is pretty good too. They do have quite a bit of ads nowadays but I suppose they have to make some money to keep this site alive.
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"
Every time I've tried to use Major Geeks, regardless of how careful I was, I ended up getting all kinds of extra programs and tools, EVEN WHEN I SPECIFICALLY OPTED OUT OF THEM. It's deceitful and abusive.
I realy liked it. I can't seem to remember where I found this site but Major Geeks has been extremely useful to me over the past year or so. I've had numerous problems with my computer and this site has helped me out on all of those occasions. Regards
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.
You clicked an advertisement. Slow down :)
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.
Everything is reviewed, clearly listed, and advertising is labeled. If you have a question you can actually write the owners and get a reply. Try that someplace else.
We spend TIME trying to keep the version we choose. We spend time disabling browser updates so that we can KEEP the version we CHOSE. ALL OF YOUR FIREFOX VERSIONS ARE IMMEDIATLEY UPDATED TO A NEW VERSION. Then we delete and try somewhere else. The least you could do is WARN us that these older versions will be hijacked the first minute we are online. Thank you for wasting my time again, and again.
Been going here for years. I like the fact that if a program is adware, they tell you (think AOL and RealPlayer). Whenever available, they have links directly to the download without having to go through that program's website first.
It's more than freeware/shareware--I like the news in their "Way Off Base" links.
Ashampoo crashed my computer years ago. The repairman told me so. I downloaded it from major geeks... hope they are doing better these days. Will keep everyone updated.

Update: As you can see, this guy didn't respond so I can prove him wrong, as happens all the time. Ad-Supported software is MAYBE 1]10th of our software, so every time? Sure... If he ever responds, I'll make a vide on any software that he mentions and prove him wrong. We take our reputation seriously and are tired of uninformed, unsubstantiated claims from a handful of people. Probably a competitor.
Hi, name the software that did this? Usually when we see this, the end user is infected. We're not handing out untested files so to say all our files are infected, when SiteAdvisor and many users say otherwise, is simply wrong.
