The Worst Downloads of 2008 (CNET)
y0himba:
I love this Greenprint! Thank you, it's very useful. :Thmbsup:
Paul Keith:
Wouldn't the worst downloads automatically be anything that came with viruses or other malware, or that file you torrented which ended up with an unknown password on it or was a completely different thing than the download description said?

Shush! It's CNET. :mad: (sarcasm)
Grorgy:
ahhh well to make the list you had to, to quote from the cnet article To qualify, these downloads have to meet the minimum requirements specified by Download.com in our software policies. That excludes all spyware, adware, and rogue software--which disqualifies public enemy No. 1, the notoriously annoying Antivirus XP 2008 and its many variants, which continue to plague Google ads.

Grorgy, nice find. I didn't quite spot it.
CNET doesn't exclude buggy software though and from what I understood about the applications, it was more like silliest downloads or worst interfaces rather than a list of bad downloads.
