I agree with Philip.

One thing I would like to add is that when it comes to download hubs, the site itself may very well be safe, but you should also question the integrity of the file creato/author. Major download sites can only do so much to guarantee what they host or link is clean, since people have different standards for "clean". Nagware seems pretty harmless to most people. Adware can also pass many "is it harmless" tests but that can be a very broad descriptor (adware can also be very much malware).

Anyways, Softpedia as a site is trustable.



Happy Thanksgiving, Philip!

The Softpedia site is very good & very safe. It all depends on who created the pinball game, which should be mentioned on the softpedia site.
