[Box.net](http://Box.net) is banned by such security suites as Avira Premium Security Suite because some downloads have been discovered to contain infections or adware. JFI

MajorGeeks, [Download.com](http://Download.com) or GeekstoGo pass the security security for downloads.

siliconman01, yes, I am aware of this issue. It’s a shame that there are security applications out there placing a global ban on [box.net](http://box.net). As with any file sharing website, there are no doubt some bad files being hosted there. I have 100% control over my files, so you can rest assured that they are safe to download – if you are downloading them when I have them posted there.

[FileForum.com](http://FileForum.com) hosts most of my downloads. I sometimes have to wait a while for my downloads to be posted on their website. Whenever that happens, I can either wait until the download is posted or use my [box.net](http://box.net) site as a backup. I wish I could host my downloads on my own server – I just don’t have enough bandwidth though.
