Why do some pages contain viruses/spyware ?
How many hits does Katz Downloads receive ?

How do I open the file(s) I have downloaded ?

At the time of the download(s) being added, it was most probably not dead. Unfortunately, links tend to die after varied periods of time. In order for us to delete such downloads, you will need to report them to us.

When you click on one of the download links on Katz Downloads, you will see a panel on the left-hand side. On the top of this panel are 2 drop-down menus titled 'Rating' and 'Status'. To report that download as not working, select "1" from the 'Rating' menu and select the appropriate status (eg: "Dl Page Not Found") from the 'Status' menu, and then click "Rate it!".

Once a substantial number of people report this download as dead, we will delete it.

None of the pages on Katz Downloads contain viruses or spyware. Third-party links that you visit from our site may contain popups or auto-installing files, but these can be blocked by upgrading to Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and Service Pack 2 for Windows XP (click here). Or, you can switch to a more secure (and free) browser, like Firefox.

If you think that your computer has been infected, then please install Anti-Virus software. If you do not currently have Anti-Virus software and would like to scan your computer for viruses for free, then use either Panda's ActiveScan (click here) or Trend Micro's HouseCall (click here). also suggested are Kaspersky or NOD32.

It is possible that a site may be distributing files containing some sort of malware (without our knowledge, ofcourse).
If you come across suspicious files in ZIP or RAR files you've downloaded, please let us know along with the exact URL of the page and file(s). We will inspect the file(s) and ban the site if indeed found to contain malware.

Katz Downloads is one of the top DDL sites on the internet. Click here to see traffic charts comparing us to other DDL sites.

Files are packed in various formats. Some of the most popular formats (file extensions) you will see are ZIP, RAR, ACE, BIN/CUE, IMG, TAR, ISO and NRG.

WinRAR is one of the most popular file compressing applications today. It can open most types of compressed files.

There are different applications available, depending on what you want to do with the downloaded files. Files ending in IMG, BIN/CUE, ISO and NRG are usually copies (also known as "images") of CDs. To burn these CD images onto CDs, we suggest using Nero Burning ROM. If you would prefer to install the image without having to burn it onto a CD first, then we suggest Daemon Tools. Daemon Tools (fools your computer into beliveing) emulates the image file on to a fake CD/DVD drive, allowing you to install the image contents.

Please email in your suggestions to staff@katz.to.
