Hi lusher!

You can't links stuff with the "no follow" attribute here on DC, they'll get appended to the url and will render the URL invalid.

Also, linking to the download itself probably isn't the way to go, as people probably want to read more about the software before downloading it.. ;)

lanux128:
F-Secure's HealthCheck is quite useful. i had directed a few complainants to that site & get a report before attending to them.

Lusher:
Which is better Secunia Software Inspector or HealthCheck?

jgpaiva:
I never heard about HealthCheck, thus i'd go for Secunia :)
