Yes I just had a horrible experience with CNET Downloads. Took the work computer down HARD. Took ever molecule of my experience to get it back. Restore points were “missing” and when trying to remove the CNET downloaded program...it began working ominously hard and slow removing a 14MB program. I held the power button down because I believed it was trashing the drive. Gaaahhh... even F8 response was faulty - still twisted OS upon bootup. I’m not really sure HOW I got the OS to admit the restore points were really present. I hate restore points because malware deletes them first but this is the one time they saved me. Bad CNET. And the CNET site was advertising that they had extra speshul security around their downloads.
