 For unmatched flexibilty and capabilities*: Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.

* Not a freeware. Requires high-end system specs. Steep $999 price for only one product. <groan>

Okay. I'm glad I checked up.
I found the site by accident while searching for Microsoft Gif Animator.

Couldn't recall the site I originally downloaded the program from, and I've never had the chance to use the program myself. I should be more careful. As I said, glad I checked up, I'll add a note to my earlier post. Thanks for input. Mark.

welcome

I'll add a note to my earlier post.

Instead, I would remove the link. why post link if you are not sure whether it is safe?.. (suggestion).

oh second thoughts on download site - hindsight is such a wonderful thing

I recall that Microsoft Gif Animator came with much recommendation.
But i could be wrong about that too. Perhaps some feedback there also?

I have never deleted a post as yet.

Other reports:

• BrowserDefender

Browser Defender  
McAfee Site Advisor is way out of date and even rates sites with known malware as good  
WOT is OK but is heavily infuenced by user bias  

[.: L' arc :.]

 I do not put much trust to McAfee Site Advisor either. I put more of the basis on user comments below McAfee's.
