Daemon Tool is safe to use. What it doesn't make it safe when the user decided downloading or downloaded from location that is NOT verified by Daemon website.
Then the user complaining that the tool is fake and full of craps. But where did they download the file? Is it directly from Daemon official website or some unknown not only the user but also unverified link from Daemon.
The safest way is to download from the original source, not from "unknown, yeah because my friend did this and it's ok and good". But after downloading, did any of them or you did the basic mandatory routine? Did any of you scan the file for viruses?
Did any of you pay for it? Then there's something fishy either from the unknown source or the file.
It's free, what else do you want? Just go to:
