Now comes the interesting, rather shocking part!

It clearly says that not all the files from this largest software downloading site are safe.
Below is scan result of softpedia.com
Softpedia is also suffering from spyware, adware and trojan threats. To defend their website, one of their staffs confirmed that they can’t control software developers or firms who update their software versions by adding new installation files without any information to Softpedia staffs. Well one can understand this problem, but shouldn’t they use some script to track these software upgrades? They should think about this.
Now you can integrate McAfee Site Advisor utility with your browsers also. This utility will warn you about sites with potential threat issues in real time. Start using Site Advisor to keep your website and computer clean.
