   Hi All,

   I have been a subscriber to Giveaway of the Day for some time now and have downloaded many great products with few problems. I also have and use the WOT (Web of Trust)add-on for Firefox. This add-on rates web sites relative to their trustworthiness based on reports submitted by users of the site. To date all the Giveaway of the Day sites have been rated as "very good" until Aiseesoft Total Video Converter was recommended. This products web site (Aiseesoft.com) is rated "Very Poor" in all 4 categories of Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, Privacy and child safety. Specifically, there have been multiple reports of spam, bad customer experiences, phishing or other scams, malicious content including viruses and hateful, violent or illegal content. I didn't download the product based on these reports so I can't say for sure if they are true but I thought I would give a heads up anyways so everyone can decide for themselves.

   Regards,
   Zalet51

   I tried to ask a question on today's d/l, but it's been sitting there for hours saying it is awaiting moderation. What's up with that?
   In addition to the question I had, I REALLY wanted someone to answer Rusty #54 question which was about security on the Aiseesoft product.
   Does anyone happen to know? I sure don't want anyone accessing my computer.

   I use several videoconverters and have been very pleased with Aiseesoft Total Video Converter and have not been victimized by any Aiseesoft spam, parasites or phising. Excellent quality output (particularly to format Flash H264 Video *.flv) and the converter is by far the fastest converter on the market. The crop and trim functions are intuitive and outstanding assets in the prog together with the feature of a wide range of output formats. I can from experience recommend the Aiseesoft Total Video Converter. On the other hand the Aiseesoft Free YouTube Downloader is not working at all for me. (HP Compaq 6000 Pro MT PC, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, E7500 @ 2.93GHz.)

   mack4 - this software was given away on 11/15, so unless you both downloaded and installed it then, I don't think you can do it now (if that's what you mean by getting 'activation to work.')

   A free alternative is iWisoft Free Video Converter: "iWisoft Free Video Converter can fast convert videos between all popular formats like AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, XviD, MP4, H.264/AVC, AVCHD, FLV, MKV, RM, MOV, 3GP, and audio MP3, WMA, WAV, RA, M4A, AAC, AC3, OGG. Directly convert video for playback on your PSP, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PS3, Xbox, Zune, Creative Zen, Archos and other digital multimedia devices. The video converter also has powerful video editing functions including crop, trim, merge, adding watermark and special effects." http://www.iwisoft.com/videoconverter/
