Im always a little too cautious but, Are all of the downloads virus free? I know it may be silly to ask i just want to make sure. |

I'm not sure but wouldnt the people who post it up check it first? Their computer would be infected by then. |

I think ALL the downloads are virus-free because of a few reasons: 1) If there would be viruses in their downloads nobody would like their website. And they don't like this. 2) Why should they do that? They want to help the community, not destroy their computers. |

The programs I release are virus free, but if they are edited after I release I cannot say if they are or not, so look at the last modified date on the files. |

Or just get a virus scanner. If there were any viruses on this site im sure we would hear about it. Many people that run virus scanners download things here, and im pretty sure all our staff runs them. I know I do and I havn't run into one suspicous package yet. Though you may want to stay away from a link in the sig a of guy named SCVirus, the program in his link virus.exe doesnt register as a virus but you never know :) |

You never know. They could be secretly hacked and replaced with virus-implimented versions or their former selves and install a trojan without notice. You never know. |

Before you download, you must think about whether the place you are downloading is a reliable place to download, such as wc3campaigns, or cnet, which are sites with good reputations, however, it is safe to keep a virus scanner just in case... |
