Softonic’s File Security Status: Ensuring a Malware-Free Experience

At Softonic, we prioritize your device’s safety by scanning all files hosted on our platform to assess and prevent potential damage. Our team performs rigorous checks every time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status.

Understanding Our File Status Categories

Clean

This software program is extremely likely to be clean and free from malware. We have scanned the file and associated URLs using over 50 leading antivirus services, and no potential threats were detected.

Notice

This software program may be potentially malicious or contain unwanted bundled software. However, our scanning system suggests that these flags are likely to be false positives.

What is a False Positive?

A false positive occurs when a benign program is mistakenly flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

Blocked

This software program is highly likely to be malicious or contain unwanted bundled software. Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be real positives, and we have removed the software from our catalog.

Reporting Software Issues

While we strive to provide a malware-free catalog, we may occasionally miss a potentially malicious software program. To address this, we have integrated a Report Software feature on every catalog page, allowing you to provide feedback and help us improve our security measures.

If you encounter any issues, please flag them, and our team will address your concerns as soon as possible.
