Worked Great For Me
January 3, 2016

Tried uninstall and reinstall FN key which stop working in Win. 10 on my Toshiba laptop. Used Softpedia to download the new FN key software. Installed fine but FN key still doesn't work. But my experience with Softpedia was good. Due to comments on SiteJabber reviews I ran my virus and malware scanner after downloading the software and found no problems.

Softpedia is a large library for a wide range of software for Win, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. What is great about Softpedia is the tests and reviews for software products. You can identify those safe-to-use software programs by the sign "100% clean". You can find detailed information about the functionalities and performance of the software. Everything Softpedia team members do aims to help you decide whether to try the software or not. Needless to say, if you a developer, Softpedia is a great software publishing platform you can't miss.

There are not many sites where I have found I use as reference tools almost all of the time but softpedia has become that for me. If I need a driver updated version, it is often easier to go to softpedia than the manufacturers own website. Use it for mobile devices too!

I was able to find a driver for my printer that even the company that build my printer didn't have a good working copy of and that alone saved me from having to buy a new printer.

I have also found this site to have a lot of tech news and good information on upcoming computer technology as well as software downloads.

Although I have had no problems with the things that I have downloaded from them it seems one of the other people reviewing this website has so all I can say is be couscous and run your virus checker before installing any software that you downloaded on your machine. I will also say that is true of any website that you download software from.

I think you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the site.

I have found this site to be very useful in learning what downloads are out there. Many times there is already a solution available but finding it is the hard part. This site provides a central location to learn about and download freeware and shareware.

Tried to download a graphics driver, but when I installed it instead got loads of malware and redirected to a games site which wanted credit card details it wouldn't use - yeah right! Stay well away!

I don't know much about PC stuff but I love my iphone and macbook and this site surprisingly had a great section on apple products and news

http://news.softpedia.com/cat/Apple/

Learned quite a bit that I guess apple doesn't want you to know! Will bookmark this site for future mac issues.

I found this web site through google, "nebula screensaver download" search and naturally wanted to find out a little more before buying drugs from a stran... downloading something unknown from the internet. Thats I how I found Site Jabber! I have since downloaded plenty of odds and ends from here and haven't experienced so much as hint of a problem. This is my "go-to" for simple downloads.
