Also new to the forums and trying to look in different topics to find answers. I downloaded Phex and it seems very clear and easy to use, but since I am not interested in games or music, am wondering how to tell if an application is for real or not. I need these programs for work reasons and not employed, so was wondering if Phex is the right program. Seems many of these forums and programs are devoted to people who are game/music oriented. I downloaded what was supposed to be *** from Limewire, for example, and after it took 8 hours, there seemed to be no actual application, even though the file folder said it was over 500MB. I know there are also codes to change or alter, but I am not that sophisticated to even know how to access them. Anyway, any advice gladly and humbly accepted.
