Nice site for downloading applications

Excellent resource for someone who needs something like latest driver and all in one place but honestly it's just not work like that anymore. We did see that all going no matter how you really put it. Today all you have is located in something like Windows 10.

This is not a review per say as I am trying to gather as much information as possible about the safety and accuracy of MajorGeeks before I use their site,

Sold me down loadable courses, said only requirement was Internet access, after I had redeemed the vouchers it was finally disclosed that a high speed high bandwidth connection was needed to stream the courses and each time I tried they kicked me off their servers,it was only AFTER I complained and asked for a refund they suddenly told me they had a no refund policy and that they did not have to disclose any of this PRIOR to sales due to it would cut "into their revenue stream"

This site's file has some types of Trojan inside,,,, be aware!

Excellent at providing latest software downloads. Easy to use site with all the latest freeware, shareware, paid for and open source available to download off their file mirrors or the author's website. Great stuff really!!

I don't work there, they don't pay me, and I rarely write reviews, but I have to say its my most trusted source of free software. Please read the cautions; some software is shareware, some is ad-supported, and there are ads that a novice might mistake for a the "install" button. When it says, "wait 5 seconds for your download to appear" wait 5 seconds, or even 9 or 10 if necessary. I always use an ad-blocker, which prompts a request for contributions, and I have sent them a few bucks, because they're that good, and I depend on them. Check the provided user ratings, both popularity (how many downloads) and rating (which includes the # of raters).

Largely hosts files for many computer programs. Usually a mirror site.

I've been a member of MajorGeeks support forum for a number of years and you can always find someone to step up and help with your computer problems. At MG's forum it's a team effort and I'm also a faithful user of MG's download site/ Always safe and secure downloads from the Major.

Everything is reviewed, clearly listed, and advertising is labeled. If you have a question you can actually write the owners and get a reply. Try that someplace else.

Great site for download safe softwares , and ask everything on support forum.

Great trustworthy site for finding out and downloading new software and tools.

I have used this site on numerous occasions with no issues.  However, I am big on info sec, so I would suggest using other ext and/or tools that help you reckoning or protect against any possible threat. Sites get hacked all the time and I personally do not want to be the @*&# End of the Stick" If I end up landing on site where a threat is injected...  Does not happen all the time, better safe than sorry I say. Adblock Plus, Ghostery, Kaspersky and Privacy Fix are a few programs/extensions I prefer to use.

Editor of this website is active and if you ever need any help, just email them and they will help you back. I emailed them for few correction in the pages and they resolved it and emailed me back with proper reply.

Good site,I often download from here.No known issues.

After running another security check I have to downgrade them again. For a long time they have been listing too much, doing a poor job of weeding out garbage and then seemingly never removing anything.

Therefore I would only download from them if I knew that what I was looking for was clean and it wasn't available somewhere else.

For proof see this:

I am editing this to reflect that I just tested out one it's editor picks- which happened to be scareware(Reimage.)

How can we possibly trust such a site?

I'm trying to learn how to view (not DELETE) my index.dat files. Every time I download a file viewer I end up partitioning my hard drive and do a fresh install. Then I go through all the motions of updates.... etc. At this point is when I want to view my files. The I want to go to a couple of websites etc. and then continually go back to view the files as I go. CNET , SOFTPEDIA, a few other sites have plagued me. LOL.

One of the only good sites without that "Nutshell Installer". Plus no malware like CNET. I downloaded MBAM and Office Starter from them with no problem!

This comment is for Darth H.

You say not to download any advertisement or banner which is totally understandable and makes tons of sense but I personally have gone to download something on different sites (Example) A antivirus program or whatever and there is 2 or 3 things that say click here to download, so I think it is for the program I want to download and it ends up being something totally different. So whatever site a person uses can be tricky and misleading not just this site. I do appreciate everyone's reviews so I can make a accurate informed decision

This site is very safe and Majorgeeks.com has also my Software on it!

Still awesome and dependable, after all these years.
