Beware of sites that pretend

There are sites out there that wish to infect your computer with useless programs and viruses. Site like these advertise free products that are usually paid or not accesible. Many of these sites exist out there and here is a huge warning if you like to click on free programs, you might just get baited. Avoid sites that are generators of currency that are paid in games, sites that promote free products, sites that offer services or a free version of a program without being scanned before. A very popular site that fools a lot of people to this day is SOFTONIC. Softonic is a horrible page that offers free downloads of products that are no even theirs, the sites downloader is filled with ads and virus. If you have ever downloaded something from there, I strongly suggest you check your computer. The installer just leads to more installations of useless programs and at the end it won't let you uninstall them, leading you to download counter measures and retrieve full control of your computer. Avoid these sites, sites that look sketchy or sound fake in their promises. Softonic, CNET, SourceForge, Brothersoft ---> Don't use these sites, EVER. If you don't believe me just type in softonic into your search bar and type viruses next to it. Thousands of articles will tell you that these sites are just malicious, yet they still pretend not to be. Even Wikipedia cites them as a site that installs unwanted programs. Have care when surfing and looking at webpages, don't get fooled by the rating stars under a page, if you don't know about it, search and find out if its a good source. Stay safe
