I need to know as well :(

From what I have gathered. One of the risks is that if it is a large piece fo software it will mean that it could have the potential of taking up a large amount of RAM and therefore slow the computer down not only for the short term but potentially perminantely as it will require the computer to frequently use page files. Although this doesnt normally happen with small pieces of software, It would be more frequent or likely to occur with larger software. For example: With operating systems. Again it completely depends on the RAM capacity and the Software size.

If you go to the software maker's site the risk is lower. You can check the software at other sites that rate software by Googling the name of the software.  Good luck and let us know how it comes out
