There should be a way for people to "Comment" on PCW Software recommendations.

If a PCW software recommendation sends me to possible Malware Infected site, I should be able to make a comment on the PCW software recommendation webpage. Hopefully somebody @ PCW would investigate this.

REASON: Today (Feb 10, 2012) PCW recommended an IKEA design program. The PCW link provided, goes to to an IKEA(?) website, that admits(?) the website may be infected. Is this a Malware infected link? OR is this a legitimate UNinfected link?

Who knows, but I'm sure as #377 not gonna click to DL the software.

I guess the Real Question is: Does PCW vet/TEST their software recommendations OR are PCW software recommendations driven by payments to PCW?

Can you give me a link? I wonder if that's just a disclaimer since the software isn't hosted on pcworld servers (even though it's totally legit most likely).
