but one thing that can be done in a case where you need to try out some program that you fear could be harmful to your pc is to install some Virtual Machine software, and a change detection program (like Ashampoo Uninstaller) on the virtual machine, and then run the program, and then compare snapshots of the machine using the change detection program, and look to see if any evil changes have been made to system files, etc.
