Softpedia Reviews Summary
The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant concerns regarding malware and security risks associated with downloads, leading to a prevalent sentiment of distrust among users. While some customers appreciate the extensive library of software and user-friendly interface, many express dissatisfaction due to experiences with harmful downloads and inadequate customer support. Positive feedback often highlights the site's utility for finding software, but recurring complaints about malware and untrustworthy downloads overshadow these strengths. This duality suggests a critical need for the company to enhance its security measures and improve communication with users to rebuild trust.

I was able to find a driver for my printer that even the company that build my printer didn't have a good working copy of and that alone saved me from having to buy a new printer.
I have also found this site to have a lot of tech news and good information on upcoming computer technology as well as software downloads.
Although I have had no problems with the things that I have downloaded from them it seems one of the other people reviewing this website has so all I can say is be couscous and run your virus checker before installing any software that you downloaded on your machine. I will also say that is true of any website that you download software from.
I think you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the site.
WARNING! This is a fraudulent website located in romania promotes and distributes Virus/Conficker Worm. They also steal bandwidth from other websites.
This domain should be suspended due to invalid whois information, softpedia.com should be removed from google search engine for keyword spamming.

There are not many sites where I have found I use as reference tools almost all of the time but softpedia has become that for me. If I need a driver updated version, it is often easier to go to softpedia than the manufacturers own website. Use it for mobile devices too!
If you are looking to download anything from a specific driver or if you need a freeware program for a calculation, softpedia is a great resource to find the software you need. I like the way it is organized but it does take a little while to figure out how they organized the site. They also have the latest news on everything from firmware updates for the PS3 to latest drivers for games.
I have found this site to be very useful in learning what downloads are out there. Many times there is already a solution available but finding it is the hard part. This site provides a central location to learn about and download freeware and shareware.
