I remember, years ago, when VLC was fairly unknown and my dad asked if I knew what VLC was... he was convinced it was adware as he had never seen it before and when you clicked on it, nothing really happened.

I looked it up after he uninstalled the nothing-burger of an application. Found your website and decided to download it. I remember malware would masquerade as real software a lot back then and it wasn’t that far out.

Installed it and ever since has been my favorite for watching anything, and helped streaming files and the like.

VLC is awesome and I haven’t stopped using it since.
