CNet can't be trusted for topics like this[1]. They take closed-source 
freeware/shareware binaries -- as well as open source-based freeware -- 
and wrap them in their own spammy/malware-infested installers. So CNet 
can't be trusted to make an opinion about closed source -vs- open source 
freeware binaries.

So, trust you, and trust CNet. No thanks, I'd rather trust the source 
code, please. Why keep it closed, what are you hiding? :-)
