Peaches Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Don't download any program from CNET/download.comRecent occurrences concerning CNET/download.com and their download archive make clear they offer malicious programs for download and therefore it is advised to avoid CNET. Apparently they don't screen software before offering it for download, so there is a not acceptable risk that software gained via CNET is malicious and will infect PCs. Recent example is Intelinet Internet Security, a rogue anti-spyware and offered via CNET.Really irresponsible is the refusal of CNET to remove malicious programs from their download archive: several people have warned them they host a malicious program, Intelinet Internet Security. Till yet CNET refuse to remove it.Till CNET have cleaned up their act and screen software before offering it for download I strongly advice you: don't download any program from CNET/download.com. It can be mailicious.Source/full story: Smokey's Security Weblog - http://smokeys.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
