OSCAR

Is OSCAR safe? Does it work? My computers can`t or won`t download it.

Yes it is, and yes it does.

Tell your computer to stop being over-protective in this case.

Your computer complains because the Oscar group isn't paying the OS manufacturer to say "oh, this software is good"

G'day Cocopups. Have a look at the Oscar installation instructions (in the Oscar help wiki) - it specifically flags a potential issue with Windows and/or virus protection programs interfering with installation. It also shows you the work-around.

Oscar is open source software. If you are concerned about safety, you can read from the code what Oscar does. And you can compile it on your own computer, if you want.
