Do you wonder why all the positive reviews are from users with only one or two reviews? That's because they are fake! I just downloaded Instagram for windows. Even after removing the outdated softwar... See more

Fake positive reviews

Stop posting fake positive reviews, useless bots. Tried 3-4 different programs, and each one had trojan/malware bundled inside. Last one was MSi Dragon Center (bc i wanted old version),and both Malwarebyte's and Kaspersky, alerted me for "Adware:Win32/AutoBulk.blablablabla",infected files.

This website is very very good

I like this website very much, one of the things I liked the most about is the fact that using this website is very very well organized, intuitive, also it is very easy to use, the downloads are very fast, and the website shows that it is very safe to use it, it the best website that I used when compared to similar ones and the main reason for that, it's the fact that I always have a really good experience using it. This website deserves 5 stars.

The FileHorse.com website is built with simple graphics, very easy to load and simple to use. During the last month I have downloaded many software and it has always been quick and easy. The downloaded files are always safe and without stupid surprises, which normally occur with sites similar to this. After a few days of use FileHorse.com has become my favorite site and when I have to look for new software I know where to find it.

Be aware! Do not download ANYTHING from here!

I searched on google 'InsomniaX', a tool for macOs. Since file was hosted on their mac.filehorse.com portal, I decided to download it from there. Pretty everywhere I saw that the genuine InsomniaX was a tar.gz file, but they provided a dmg. After I finished the installation, a big surprise: an extension for Safari with the permission to grab modules, passwords and credit cards. ;-) They are so cute! I'm reporting this fact everywhere, BE AWARE!!!
