The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Is it 100% certain that PDF Mergy is safe?

    Is Jotti 100% accurate in determining whether a file is malware?

    Are you helpless? Why don't you just scan it yourself or just use Comodo and open it in a sandbox. Good grief.

    with regards to jotti, accuracy would depend on the multiple anti virus engine the site uses. which would have a higher probability of detecting malware since it's always updated, has more anti virus progs checking your file than i could care to install in a lifetime :p

    The 69b site looks questionable: dsparking.com | WOT Reputation Scorecard | WOT (Web of Trust) I noticed it redirected to dsparking.com.

    As far as testing reliability; if it's not verified, then there is always potential to being suspect. But from what I can tell, it looks okay - not many user ratings, but the ones there don't hint at it being spyware/malware.

    Perform a scan on it to make sure it checks out.
