First, let me state I have gone through every search engine and site on the Megathread before I’m asked. I’ve also looked through the Unsafe sites and users as well.

I have been hunting for a recent version of a piece of software for a while now and all I can seem to find are ones VirusTotal.com lists with viruses in them or from users on the Unsafe list.

The file I currently have came straight from the site AppDoze.com. Can someone let me know if AppDoze is still a reputable downloader? I’ve read Yes and I’ve read No. As you can see VirusTotal.com looks at the cracked .exe and list 6 viruses. Surely there can’t be this many “false positives” in a file or can there?

Also, Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Pro both updated have had full scans run on my PC in safe mode and they show no infections which I don’t understand with all the installs and uninstalls I’ve done from a number of sources. I’m considering BitDefender just as another layer of safety.

Anyway, if anyone could give me some insight on AppDoze, I would be most appreciative. Thanks for your input and time!

    Any reason you need this specific software? Seems like it has a fairly generic use case, also possible with free / open source software

        The least reputable thing would probably be Leawo’s software anyway. There are plenty of better alternatives to use.

        Regarding the 4th pargraph, AV software can be “numbed” on Windows if you aren’t careful. I’d recommend Rodrigo a full wipe and OS reinstall and hope for the best.
