AnswerFor the most part the download website is free of viruses. However, since the software on d/l. comes from many different sources it is likely that there is some spyware in software available to download. CNET (which owns download) is a trustworthy source to download small freeware programs and it is highly unlikely that you will receive malware from their server itself. The risk comes when u download programs with small trackers or tracking cookies, (which are easy to dispose of regardless).

In a nutshell, yes it is safe to download from download,just make sure to check the popularity of the download in the right-hand column of the download list to see if others have downloaded it, also check comments that other users have posted to see if your software meets your needs.
