I was just looking for warez type sites out of curiosity (haven't done that for years). From the BING search list I tried a few at random. Most would trigger my AVAST "dangerous site" warning immediately or within a few seconds when some hidden redirect would try to open another site.
WELL, Downloadkeeper didn't trigger anything and it offered a $1.99 one time registration fee for whatever I wanted to download, from now on. (Have you ever heard the saying "If it's too good to be true... "?)
No, I didn't join, but I looked around the site and tried the Search. One thing I noticed was that no matter what piece of music, movie or software package I typed in, it claimed to have found it, even when I accidently mispelled something. Then I tried typng in garbage words like "crapybpter4w3" and, boy! They had that one ready for download too. Cute! Sure is a well designed website though, real professional looking.
I'll just keep buying my software, music, etc., honestly like I've been doing. There's always eBay and Amazon if I want to try for a bargain price.
