Software Testing Safety I’ve downloaded 2 pieces of portable software from the FMHY site Soft98 (Persian site) and I’ve checked both installers through VirusTotal with zero hits for both. Is there anything else I need to do to verify the legitimacy of the software? I’ve heard of people using sandboxes but I’m not quite literate on how to setup and use those. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Reputable or Not??? 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!

BluRay/UDH Rippers? Anybody ever found a hacked version of any “supposed BluRay/UHD rippers” like DVDFab, DumboFab or Leawo that actually worked? I really liked Leawo and got a good copy from TorrentGalaxy but when it attempts to read the BluRay and, I guess, get its information, the software returns an error message and freezes up. The only software I’ve found that’ll handle most everything is MakeMKV but the only thing I don’t like about MakeMKV is no preview option plus sometimes it coughs a furball on regular DVDs.

The main reason is it’s the only ripper I can find that will copy chapter markers AND utilize Hardware Acceleration. I have a registered version of MakeMKV but it tends to be quite slow even though I love it for most things. Leawo can convert a BluRay file about x3 faster just like DvdFab. :(

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot.

Can you tell me anywhere I could possibly get the program without risking the safety of my PC? Oh, and thank you for all the detail. That clears a LOT of things up!
