3DP Net

Just a heads up, I see a few websites listing this program called 3DP Net, which I find funny since these large websites claim to test software first. Seems more like they are using online, automated scanners and not running the program, otherwise they would not list this if they really cared.

It installs files to your hard drive, claims to update, then opens a page with an ad. First link I clicked, out of a few links available, took me to a page where it attempted to install an Active X control. Really? Active X? I don't care what it is or does, that is a bad idea. Of course, everything being in Korea does not make me feel any better about this.

This program claims to only update your network drivers, so here are the 2 problems with that:

1: You can skip this garbage and go to the manfacturers website and download the latest driver, therefore not needing to install a whole extra program and a whole extra step.
2: While some drivers can make a big difference in performance (for example video card drivers), it is rare that an updated network card will make a noticeable difference.

So, while the program could be "called" safe, it stinks and is an extra step for nothing. Run away.

 

It's about clicks. Once you get big enough, you can easily turn a blind eye because of how many things you list. Many are not noticed. Very tough for us because we can not compete on size, the real shame here is that we would have to list tons of crappy programs to compete. Think about it
