We are a software directory, mirror and review web site that takes security very seriously. The entire premise of our free service is to combat the malware commonly bundled with high-profile sites that cause havock across millions, perhaps billions of PCs worldwide. We're not perfect, but certainly viewed by many as an effective second line of defense against bad actors masquerading as a source of free and safe software.

When upgrading my PC, I found that some software like CorelDraw & NeoPaint were no longer available as downloads, but only by subscription. I found both on LO4D.COM. What's interesting is that they are not black-market versions, but appear to be the original authentic installers. So I had to enter my original CorelDraw serial# in the installer, which I don't mind doing since I paid for it 10 years ago! And it works! NeoPaint was the same, even though NeoPaint went out of business years ago. Excellent - and much appreciated.
Love this site. You can download software it warns you if it is safe or not. I'll recommend this site for software downloads. So give it a try it is a very good download site.
A big name product had their fingers in my system. Yes, I know, it was my fault for buying it, but when I started to delete the program, it put the brakes on me. I stumbled across LO4D.com and after about an hour and four or five restarts, I am back, better than ever! Going to check into the rest of their site when I get a chance, but you better believe LO4D is bookmarked.
I have downloaded a game from this website and everything seems to be working fine. No one of that advt crap that starts appearing on your PC when you download from some other websites.

It's a good and honest site with a lot of freeware titles that are hosted on their servers.
LO4D.com is no BS which is something I can appreciate.
all the applications are genuine and working.
I love this site! So upfront, professional and efficient. I'm sure
they're not perfect but they have taken some great steps in the
right direction. Nice selection of software, none of the drama and
hype found elsewhere... good work, Lo4D.com!
As always, it's best to be paranoid and look at things carefully before grabbing software. I haven't had any problems with Lo4d.
I've been burnt too many times to count and this one is a breath of fresh air. Who cares if they don't have a comments section? Its not myspace.
Downloaded iTools and lo4d claims it has malware. Guess what, virustotal verifies it. Other sites like softonic claim it is "100% safe". My foot!
This site looks good in terms of the content when you browse around it but there is no way to comment on any of their reviews or ratings.
Also, the information they provide is limited and may in fact be inaccurate. When you are trying to figure out if something is malware, that could be a very bad thing. That's where the inability to comment is a big problem.
I was looking into an Android emulator "Andy" by doing google searches and found the review on lo4d. They claim this thing is safe but a bit more searching revealed another report on herd protect which indicates 2 malware checkers got positives for the program in question. Finally, more searches for this program reveal many sites that have information that is somewhat compelling indicating it is or assists in installing malware.
Given the inability to comment on anything anywhere on lo4d, when every site on the web allows comments, it makes we wonder if they are in the business of helping propagate malware. I have no evidence to support that, though.

LO4D is a good site that has a catalog of software that can be useful. I found out about this site on howtogeek forums after we were discussing that most download sites are sneaky and install toolbars and spyware on your system. I gave the site a full review and every time a developer tried to peddle adware or other junk, LO4D duly noted the danger and warned against potential problems with said software.
You really have to be an idiot to miss all of the red and bold warnings against downloading freeware that contains junk installers.
lo4d is a small and safe download site. lots of free software download but has disabled some programs i like
LO4D.com is a little bit like a second line of defense against malware. They seem to use 20-30 antivirus engines to warn you about downloads. I think there is some malware that they site links to, but you just gotta read the warnings like "This file may harm your computer".
The last reviewer must not be able to read! The site always warns you of toolbars and adware unlike the people over at CBS running cnet.
Just be careful always when downloading stuff online. This site is not perfect but it seems to be very accurate when warning against installing crap.
This site provides an easy way to download and search for software. One of the best things this site provides are virus tests and marks adware as such.
Even though the site has the word Beta in the logo, I have not come across any major bugs. It has a clean layout and provides reviews for many of the software listed. Highly recommended.
This site has a very clean look and is easy on the eyes. Most of the software is rated to give the user a helpful tip on how well the software works.
