I've noticed that a few folks on here, particularly you, LH, refer to filehippo a lot. I visited the site and was clicking around and saw that the login is private, though they said "public" registrations will be available later. Not knowing the secret handshake, and being a member of "public", I wasn't able to login of course.
Nevertheless, it doesn't appear that you need to login just to download any of the software shown, so what does the "logee" get??
whs,
This is what I mean by "registration":
"Registration" may have been a poor choice of word . . . I mean that "Username" and "Password" stuff.
Like I said in my original post, "it doesn't appear that you need to login just to download any of the software shown", and everybody in this thread (including yourself) has confirmed my guess.
ScottW,
Two that come to mind are CNET and MajorGeeks. But neither really has a "guarantee" per se.
CNET says "Safe, Trusted, and Spyware free"
MajorGeeks says "MajorGeeks.com - The Original Spyware Free Download Site."
But you're right . . . all that is just advertising BS, and hardly a guarantee. And you're right on about there being no real remedy. Sometimes the boring EULA has a paragraph buried in it about the free software containing adware for revenue, but who reads all the way through EULA's?? Most of us just click on "I Agree".
So, whether it's CNET, MajorGeeks, or whoever, it's really caveat emptor no matter what. The only way to halfway "guarantee" yourself is to ask other people who have used it, like the people on this site, if they had any problems because of it.
