Your questions about security, privacy, and our verification process answered
We maintain 24/7 monitoring of all listings. If a threat is detected post-publication, the content is immediately removed from our platform, all associated links are disabled, and users who viewed the listing are notified through our safety alert system. We also report findings to relevant security authorities and blacklist the publisher if intentional distribution is confirmed.
Our multi-engine approach reduces false positives significantly. When conflicting results occur, we employ weighted analysis that considers each engine's historical accuracy, check for known false positive patterns, and may conduct manual review. Publishers can submit appeals with code-signing certificates or additional verification documentation.
We integrate with VirusTotal (owned by Google), which aggregates results from 70+ industry-leading antivirus engines including Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, and Bitdefender. Additionally, we use Google Safe Browsing for URL reputation checks. These partnerships give us access to the most comprehensive global threat intelligence available.
Active listings with regular user traffic are rescanned every 24 hours. Software that receives updates is immediately rescanned upon version change detection. Lower-traffic legacy software is rescanned weekly. Any listing that hasn't been verified within 30 days receives a "stale verification" notice until updated.
We collect anonymous aggregated analytics to improve our service (search trends, popular categories, click-through rates) but we do not track individual user download history or create personal profiles. We use session-based cookies for functionality only. External download links may have their own privacy policies which we clearly disclose on each listing page.
Every listing includes a "Report Concern" button that allows you to flag security issues, misleading information, or policy violations. Reports are reviewed by our security team within 4 hours during business days, and urgent threats are escalated for immediate investigation. You can also contact us directly at [email protected] with detailed findings.
Publishers must provide verifiable contact information, maintain an official website or established distribution presence, have no history of malware distribution, agree to our developer terms including update notifications, and pass our initial security screening. Enterprise publishers undergo additional verification including business registration checks.
For open-source projects, we verify the GitHub repository authenticity, check for security advisories in the project's issue tracker, review the commit history for suspicious code changes, scan compiled binaries (not just source code), and cross-reference against official project documentation. Projects with active security maintenance receive higher trust scores.
