    Good day or night!
    Exploring this site I find some of the progs are marked as PICK, HOT or Featured Software. I am not really sure what is meant by this.
    Are Featured Software the most recommended, more so than PICKs? What about HOT, does it mean popular among users but not necessarily recommended?

    Anyway, as there is so much to choose from, I think using such labels is a good thing.

    welcome to Major Geeks snurt. I wasn't around when those titles were given to some progs but I think you figured it out correctly. The Pick means that it's a freeware program. You can find it together with other great freeware in the link wildwolf posted above.

    Pick: Means we use it ourselves and think you should. Highest form of flattery here.

    Hot means it has been downloaded a lot, typically this just means it is popular, usually pretty good too :)

    Featured means its somethign we have listed here, but the company has paid to place the "Featured" ad in other places hoping people will see it. We screen those as well, and dont list garbage.

    We also ad filter, MajorGeeks does not run gambling, pornography, alcohol or known dangerous programs in our advertising.

    Thank you all for welcomes and thanks to Major Attitude for answering my Q.
    From what I have seen, MG is one of the top sites to find new SW. Furthermore, Tech Support Alert also seems like a serious site to me.
