After seeing glowing reviews on malwarebytes.org I went to their site to download the free version and when I hit the download button I was sent to majorgeeks.com for the download. Majorgeeks.com recommended in their "tips" section that before downloading the malwarebytes I should first make sure all my drivers are up to date and provided a download to do so. The download was uniblue driver scanner. I downloaded it, ran the scan, and it indicated that dozens of my drivers were so old they fell into the "ancient' category. When I clicked on the update drivers button, there was a request for payment first. Personally, I think it's wrong for majorgeeks to lead me down that path without indicating that the software they're recommending has a hidden charge for it to do anything. I should be told that before I download anything. I'll find somewhere else to download malwarebytes. I don't trust majorgeeks.

Been going here for years. I like the fact that if a program is adware, they tell you (think AOL and RealPlayer). Whenever available, they have links directly to the download without having to go through that program's website first.
It's more than freeware/shareware--I like the news in their "Way Off Base" links.

I realy liked it. I can't seem to remember where I found this site but Major Geeks has been extremely useful to me over the past year or so. I've had numerous problems with my computer and this site has helped me out on all of those occasions. Regards

I will agree that their downloads are a bit easier to navigate than cnet. No frills, just the simple facts about a DL. Their advice is pretty good too. They do have quite a bit of ads nowadays but I suppose they have to make some money to keep this site alive.

I heart majorgeeks.com a whole bunch. These are my go-to geeks when I need a program or advice or whatever. These dudes have been around a while now and they're reliable. Everything (under the sun) is categorized and it's a mix of shareware and freeware. Yay! Freeeeeee. ( sorry- had an odd late night moment there for a second) Also when you click on your desired link, it takes you to a page where you can check the user rating of "said" product you are interested in, all the info on it and etc. There are very few and far between resource download sites I trust, but I trust these geeks. Oh, and they have one of the greatest logos ever created.
