I tried to download a simple file utility via this site and it wouldn't let me save the file but instead I could only run it, and when I did, it tried doing all sorts of dodgy things to my computer, including adjusting loads of registry entries! Everything it tried to do was completely irrelevant to what I was trying to download and I ended up blocking it. I downloaded the file from elsewhere and it was quick and simple and the new site allowed me to simply save the file, no writing stuff to my registry and no trying to takeover my computer like the download on softpedia! So unless you're happy to gamble with your computer and online security, then don't download anything from this site - you have been warned!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE CREEPS.
THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY THEN HIDE AND GO INTO SILENT MODE, WITHOUT DELIVERING YOUR PROMISED PURCHASE. SITES SHOULD BAN THEM

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.

If you are looking to download anything from a specific driver or if you need a freeware program for a calculation, softpedia is a great resource to find the software you need. I like the way it is organized but it does take a little while to figure out how they organized the site. They also have the latest news on everything from firmware updates for the PS3 to latest drivers for games.
