Adware Policy

With the ever increasing distribution of adware/malware/spyware components, you many be concerned about the risks of downloading software from the Internet.

SnapFiles has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to adware/spyware/malware or whatever you may want to call it. We do not list any software that is bundled with third party advertising or tracking components of any kind. Every program you find on our sites has been downloaded by us, installed on our machines, and (as part of the review) tested for any type of malware and viruses, using several industry leading products.

We are proud to maintain the highest standards when it comes to downloading quality software products, and have been well known for this for many years.

Acceptable Adware

We feature a very limited number of adware applications that do not contain any tracking components or backdoor advertising methods such as popups or malicious browser modifications. These programs are marked as "Ad-Supported" and merely contain a banner or textual ad display, similar to what you see on just about any website. They may also offer to install a browser toolbar sponsored by Yahoo!, Google, Ask.com or similar well known companies. Click here to read more about our Browser Toolbar Policy.

Email address requests

In addition to the obvious malware criteria, we also reject any software that requests your email address or other personal information before you can use it.

The quality and safety of our download catalog has always been Priority #1 for us, that is why we go through the extra steps of personal reviews and testing before we publish any product on our site. In fact a good portion of our time is consumed by software that you will never find on our site, either due to malware, poor quality, questionable authors and many other reasons.
