Anytime you do that, you are rolling the dice as to whether

it is safe or not!!!!!!


Only download apps directly from the developers site to

be safe or the MacApp Store!!!!!!!!!!!!


If you are downloading from "warez" or "torrent" sites to circumvent

an apps licensing, you deserve what you get!!!!!
