Virus-free?

Post by Amapolas » Thu Jul 24, 2014 2:22 pm

Hello, everyone.
Our Italian language teacher has asked us to use this programme to record ourselves for pronunciation practice. I was wondering if it's virus free and harmless for my computer.
All feedback will be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Amapolas

Provided that you download the official version (http://audacityteam.org/download/) then it is free of viruses and other malware. We cannot guarantee that versions from other sources will be.

Note that most download sites (including the official Audacity downloads) may have advertisements, including download links for other products. We cannot guarantee that such products are safe. If you are aware of any malware products or links that are associated with any official Audacity page, then please let us know and we can add them to the website filter so that they will not appear on our web pages.
