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!
Conmen.
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 use this website since 2007 and I think it provides quality service which is like wikipedia when we go for quality information.
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

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.
I have been using this site since 2003, they had close to honest reviews on all softwares, i recommend it
Answer: You didn't notice all of the adds on their website? Some of them are pretty pernicious, and others are masked to look like the download button you're supposed to click on to start your download. Softpedia actually tells you they are not responsible for any computer problems you may get from clicking on an ad link. So, it isn't that they don't know that their advertisers are less than reputable - they don't care, as long as the advertiser pays them for the click you were deceived into making.
Softpedia has a rating of 2.4 stars from 27 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Softpedia ranks 63rd among Downloads sites.
