    I have scanned the following websites with VirusTotal and both were rated clean.
    tradownload.com - 0/63
    filesdeck.net - 0/63
    Does anyone have experience downloading from these sites? Obviously I am more concerned about the file(s) I'm about to download.

    The file I want to download is CFi ShellToys 7.5.

    Both sites redirect to the same installer download. The installer will give you every bit of crapware that you could wish for, with the added bonus that CFi ShellToys is nowhere to be seen.

    Avoid them completely. :eek

    Thanks _nullptr.
    The file sizes are 18+ MB. I checked CFi ShellToys 7.4 and the file size is just 8.58 MB. Version 7.5 should be smaller as it doesn't require activation.

    PS Members and visitors avoid those 2 sites like the plague.
