Hello,

Paint.NET is absolutely a legitimate software, i have personally used it for 3 years without issues... No malware, no problems at all.. It is an excellent upgrade from Windows paint with numerous features, but not so difficult to manipulate as Photoshop or GIMP

Hope this helps

Seems legit. If it is a scam, it's not an obvious one. The website is pretty damn polished, and they claim affiliation with Wells Fargo. Doesn't mean anything, but I would guess that it's not a scam. I'd do pretty major research on them before actually giving them information,
Also check these
1) Lookup the domain name Whois information, using one of the many lookup sites:
2) Check the contact us page information, ideally there will be a physical store/warehouse address and a contact phone number, if there's a phone# go ahead and call to get the feel for the operators.

3) Look for an HTTPS encrypted address on the checkout pages where you enter your personal information

ALso To check the website is secure use the site Webutation.net ,you will get more information about the website.Get the "whois" information from http://www.whoisxy.com/ to know the administrative contact,technical contact etc.

If a website is not verified through these means then you do run a risk when dealing with them.

It is legit and many people like it for being better than MS Paint but yet just as simple.

If you have doubts in a software then download it from CNET, they check installation files before uploading so there is no way you can damage your computer with any of tools you get there

Absolutely legit. It started out as a graduate project by some Stanford students. Then it got subsumed into the Microsoft maw.

(and installing anything 'makes changes to your computer')
