Le site thewindowsclub.com est-il sûr ?

The Windows Club is literally a glossary of Windows fixes, and there is more. I have been referring to this site for the last 5 or 6 years. Their solutions are practical and effective, unlike a lot of websites that would post a long list of solutions, half of which are useless. Besides, software and tools are a part of tech websites, so if you don't like them, don't use them instead of spreading negativity.

The Windows Club is run by MVPs. Our Ultimate Windows Tweaker is a portable app that does not require an installation. Hence the comments by 1-2 persons are totally false and misleading. It DOES NOT install any toolbars nor does it change the homepage. Nor do we host or sell malicious software. The ads help finance the costs and so they become necessary.

I have been following The Windows Club for the past 2 years. The site provides useful information on topics related to Windows OS, Web Browsers, Gaming, System Security, and much more. From my experience, I can say the site maintains genuine and updated content.

Some of the content seems to be cheaply copied off of other articles on the net, most articles I've read contain misinformation, like calling Steam an engine or saying a microphone were software. It's like the authors have no real clue what they are writing about. Some of their tips are also outright potentially dangerous like recommending to disable the Windows Firewall, while other tips don't even make any sense at all to solve the problem at hand. The English used in their articles is generally shoddy, though maybe some articles were just written in another language and then badly translated. Oh also some of the scripts my adblocker blocked on that site are sketchy at least. But you will find dozens of glowing reviews of the site often using the same words by the same people and some of them claiming to be Microsoft MVPs. Overall I find that site to be highly suspicious. The only redeeming factor I can mention is that they don't seem to directly link to Malware, at least they didn't in the handful of articles I've read through, but maybe they deliver their malware through scareware ads, but that's just hypothetical. Best case scenario is they just churn out cheap and poorly written articles for some ad money.
