Rather a dodgy site in many respects. I think it's not so much a deliberate policy, but rather that they have poor or zero vetting of the downloads they make available. They don't seem to care if a download is carrying a virus, or is infringing copyright.
I've never been bothered by viruses or similar malware since dropping M$ Windoze as a major OS several years ago in favour of Linux - I went from major malware infestations to zero immediately, and so far no one has designed a trojan or virus that does anything significant to a Linux installation.
Downloads either work or don't, with no nasty infections to cope with, unless I was to transfer them to my bootable Windoze partition, but I normally reserve that for offline running of software of interest, that insists on the Redmond OS.
