Which software portal do you use most?

I use filehippo the most. It's the fastest.

What site do you use most to download your software?

 

I use three about equaly, but i am very particular to the software I download from these sites.

majorGeeks
Filehippo
Tucows

 

Just about all mine from www.snapfiles.com

 

Ditto.

 

I use MG almost always. I trust the site to be free from any droppsies.

Years ago filehippo & softpedia sites used to drop nasties. Probably no more. And snapfile didn't vet the programs they offered. I know this is all outdated info. But that's why I download from MG almost always. And am extra careful when downloading elsewhere.

 

I am not doubting your info but nothing I DL'd from snapfiles ever contained malware...FWIW. Could be that I was just lucky.

 

Ditto on snapfiles & ditto on the zero malware.

 

I use www.majorgeeks.com/ and Snapfiles.

 

I use the vendors site whenever possible. Beyond that, the site I use most is Sourceforge.

 

Same here.

 

I always try to go to the product's developer page whenever possible. As far as download sites I like filehippo the best for download but softpedia also because there are usually a lot more screenshots of the product

 

majorgeeks.com

 

MajorGeeks or a direct link from the vendors site.

 

I don't know what you mean by "vet the program"....
http://www.snapfiles.com/adware_spyware_concerns.html

If the program they offer is supported by ad toolbars or the like, they do warn you right on the programs little preview/download page.

Also hit major geeks now 'n then, as well as download.com and cnet.

 

Ditto. In reverse order, though, usually.
Developer's site usually yields latest info / builds, but I trust MajorGeeks for their DL content & integrity.

 

I always seem to turn to Snapfiles first. Softpedia - second and Major Geeks - third.

 

I use the vendor's site, majorgeeks and softpedia.

All files I download are still scanned by my AV, 2 on demand scanners and/or uploaded to virustotal or jotti.

 

My preferences are Vendor's site, File Hippo, then Snapfiles.

 

filehippo .. clean site.

 

i check for updates with Update notifiers and if there is any update available, ill download it from authors website. More secure

 

Filehippo for me. I mainly use for downloading freewares like CCleaner,Utorrent,7-zip,Winamp................etc.
For trials softpedia is best.

 

download.cnet.com

 

I prefer going to the product's official sites, but in fact, I subscribed to a number of RSS feeds from download sites on my FeedBurner.

The File Hippo one is my favorite.

 

Major Geeks, Filehippo, CNET, and Nonags paid (life member); I also use vendor sites.

 

Softpedia and Cnet
