That reads ambiguously. Having looked at the site, they make some valid
points about program safety. Many are not known to be safe to use, so
users agree to take risks with them. The idea of having a database of
tested and proven programs has its uses, to identify and check anything
that might be causing you trouble that isn't a virus or spyware. It you
download stuff from the internet (and I do), there is no tried and true
way of knowing if it is ok or if it will let any man and his dog poke
around among your files. The tested programs list is a way to deal with
that, although we are talking about a lot of programs here.
