I've downloaded a few programs from this site. I happened to use one of them today - EASEUS Partition Manager - to shrink my boot partition in preparation for creating a small Windows 7 pertition. It seemed to work OK, but now my PC won't boot and it looks like I'll end up wiping my HD and hopefully restoring Windows Vista, sans whatever I installed over the past year. Luckily it wasn't my main PC. But it does go to show that free utilities can sometimes end up costing you a lot more than you bargained for. I think I'll just stick to games for the kids in future.

To be fair I have used commercial products like partition magic and they too caused the same problem you experienced. Its the nature of partition programs.

I've had problems with software downloaded from this site. I'd avoid it.

FYI

McAfee Site Advisor
In our tests, we found a small fraction of downloads on this site that some people consider adware or other potentially unwanted programs.

I've noticed the site seems to have a lot of "keylogger"s and possible spyware programs. I've decided to only d/l games for the kids' PC from this site.

I have checked out this site almost daily for a year + and have found that the reviews for the downloads as a general rule stink. I would only consider a download if less than 10% found the software unfavourable... But in general the software downloads suck the big one! Will not be checking their site anymore...

Today's giveaway is better than what they usually offer. Sothink Web Video Downloader 1.2

Back in January/09, I downloaded Glary Utilities Pro 2.9 and it's been working fine. However, most of their offers are bad but some useful software are posted once in awhile like the one linked above.

i have been a veteran admirer of this site. they give u a software everyday for free which is otherwise not free. update time 3AM toronto time. sometimes they give games as well. u need to download and install everyday between 3AM to 2.59AM the next day. most of the time i found interesting ones. and never faced any problem of virus or crush. using since 2008. but u better check before download at your own risk. btw, its strictly for personal use, not for commercial use.
