    It's so old.. why do you need it?

    The program it self should not steal anything, but say there's a security hole that is known by hackers or so then yes it can be hacked. Very old software

    I need it because when Google Calendar is opened it does not show reminders that were scheduled between the time it was shut down and then opened.

    It seems 99.9% of Calendar programs do this. Not Google Calendar.

    Does anyone know of a better program that will do this function?

    If you don't need a web calendar then Windates will do reminders. It is no longer being updated but it still works. You can google it.

    Is it compatible with W7?

    I wonder if it would use less resources than having Google Calendar open in a Chrome browser.

    Yes, works with W7. I am using it on W7. Uses hardly any resources. It is a program you use on your computer.

    I want to download it from a reputable website.

    I went to brothersoft.com and it downloaded it. When I tried to intsallit, it is requiring me to install with the calendar something called coupondropdown.

    There are a lot of other sites to download it form. What is a safe site to download it from? Will the other downloads require me to install that junk?

    Did you try this link?: WinDates 5.1

    Scroll down and note the download link and keys. You will see the author comments about not being able to work on this software anymore.

    Thank you.

    When I download the file, Google Chrome is giving a warning.

    Is that site safe?

    The author comments on the site does not mean it is his site.

    I don't recall exactly were I downloaded my copy as I have had it for more than 10 years. (Probably from the author's site which is no longer in existence) If you download that windates51.zip just run a virus scan on it before unzipping. I do that anyway on all files I download from the web. If you have problems I can always upload my copy but it's an older version and a exe file.
