This site is set up to hammer you with advertisement that is self-serving to them. They advertise software without the authors permission in order to get you to their site via the authors popularity. They are shifty at best. They make sure they come up first in search engines before an official listing from the legitimate manufacturer. They refuse to remove their illegal and unsolicited listing of a manufacturers product when requested by the manufacturer to not falsely advertise their product. They pretend to be a legitimate and official representative to other peoples products. They are an unauthorized company that has no legal grounds to represent products that they didnt advertise. If you buy anything through them or download anything through them, good luck and do at your own risk.

This website is a virus farm which will completely destroy your computer and litter it with so many viruses and trojans. You will have to either get your whole computer fixed or get a new one.

Good thing my nod32 stopped my download from this site, yes, this is a VERY malicious website that will try installing trojan's. Google should ban these sites.

Do not enter this site! Its covered in malicious content and viruses. It will also install a key-logger into your computer that is well hidden and hard to remove. I suggest blocking this site on Google.
