Hi Darnell42 and everyone,

Actually, the Web Security Guard Site gives the All Download Games Site a 100% clean bill of health.

Clean Rating Result Link

Hope this helps,
Happy Person

Hi, darnell42, to get some info about a site, just google the link:
alldownloadgames.com - Google Search

That's faster than waiting for an answer in a forum. As a second step ask in the forum for the experiences of other users.

I have installed Internet Security | WOT Web of Trust. It shows directly in the browser how the community has rated that site.
What WR wrote is absolutely right, "rather safe than sorry".

To this site: It is odd that there is no About and Disclaimer. They actually don't tell you, what you'll get. IMHO that is always a bad sign.

@ JL your link doesn't work.

Although a site may get a red warning, it doesn't necessarily mean its going to infect your computer. Sometimes it means some of the links it has are questionable, but the main site is okay. For example the giveaway site was rated red for nearly nine months because someone posted a bad file which was removed immediately, but the site still retained its red status for a long time. If you've got adequate security any suspicious activity should be blocked anyway and any files you download should be scanned with your antivirus software. I'd even go as far as to download the software into a virtual computer first. And check it from there. Any sign of infection and you can then pull the plug on the virtual machine.

WOT gives it and all the links related a red warning. That's not a good sign, I would avoid it. Someone else may have more information about it.

Does anyone know anything about the site, alldownloadgames.com? I just found it, and don't know if I should use it or not. Thanks
