Softpedia.com

click above picture to go to the website

Softpedia is a site that indexes information and provides downloads for many games, drivers, mobile phones, and software for the Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms. The site also indexes major technology, science, health, and entertainment news both from ticker servers and from in-house sources. As of late December 2006, it is one of the top 500 websites on the internet according to Alexa traffic rankings.The site was originally known as Softnews.ro. It was changed to Softpedia towards the end of 2003.


Softpedia claims to thoroughly test each software product and game they list and to check each one for evidence of viruses, malware, adware or spyware using a variety of well know antivirus and antispyware products. Programs which Softpedia finds to be free of viruses, malware, adware and spyware are given its "100% Clean" award; programs which are also free are given Softpedia's "100% Free" award. There are many controversies about reliabilty of these certificates, though (see Discussion for details).

Software categories are arranged hierarchically and are modeled after Windows filesystem paths, such as "C: \ Mobile Phone Tools \ Sony Ericsson." Large category listings are split across multiple pages. Users can sort by criteria such as the date of the last update, the number of downloads, or the rating.

For me,softpedia is a huge store of software which can found in it and what you need is just explore it yourself.Maybe,you will find something interesting you or something you are searching for.
