CNET is an amazing resource for all things technology. While some leverage the site reviews by professionals, I much prefer those provided by actual purchasers of technology.

CNET is one of the first websites I go to before I buy a technology related product. Their reviews are great and very thorough and have really never let me know. Really a cool site.

Two days ago I would have given CNET 5 stars, in preparing for my MTA test I found a practice test on CNET, hoora! It was a download, my first instinct was "don't do it" but hey... it's CNET. I spent an hour trying to get my machine back and it's still $#*!ed up, thanks for selling out guys.

Safe place to get software updates. These are becoming hard to find these days. I have yet to run into any trouble with updates from CNET. Also has great reviews of consumer electronics.

Twisted news
December 7, 2022

They twist their words to fit their own narrative which is unhelpful to the reader and it can be perceived as fake news.

I have been in IT for 17 years, when I need software or freeware or my clients ask about software this is where I point them, They have a great site very user friendly and after using them for years I trust the information they have. If you are not sure about software you can even download a lot of good software directly from them and avoid the risk of getting malware tagged along in the package.
Over the years they have evolved and they also review anything technical be it hardware, software phones almost anything after using them as long as I have they have never steered me wrong and it is about time I thanked them.
They are knowledgeable trustworthy and I have never seen any bias on their part. An easy 5 stars!
*****Since writing this review I have read people including people here saying that CNET is now including malware with their downloads and going to great lengths to show the proof. I am not saying these people are wrong I am just curious why I have never had the similar experience, my first thought was that they have fake sites cloning them borrowing on their good reputation just as has happened with many other sites AVG being the first to pop into my head I have looked into the issue a bit and I can not dismiss the possibility that they have sold out but it is late and I am on a slow connection in Central America so for tonight, I will leave my 5 stars from personal experience in tact and hope until I learn more that they have not gone to the dark side as implied,*****

Their reviews are very good and it's a great place to download freeware to try out programs before you buy.

Totally slow and unresponsive, riddled with scripts that don't work and make the site unusable. Hilarious for a tech site really...

Great site if you need to download any freeware. Plus if you are getting it from them, you can have a piece of mind that it's scanned for viruses.
