real and safe website??

[donpiche]

Trying to decide if this website is for real and safe:

http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-18139-windows-7-premium-64-bit-94nav6pra1-recovery-kit-gv405av-for...

They offer recovery media for end of life HP pcs. This would be fantastic. Site looks good but ...?

Anybody have any comments or sources to validate this business/website? thanks/cheers

@donpiche, welcome back to the forum.

I haven't used the site myself, but have recommended it to many others on the Forums with absolutely no problems reported.  I believe it to be safe!

This company has been around forever (well, a long time)  -- in so much that we do not usually "recommend" sites, Computer Surgeons provides an important and valuable service -- I have recommended the site.  I have never heard back anything negative.

The website provides an 800 number -- this in and of itself proves nothing -- it does give you a means to talk to someone before you commit.

Thank you for participating in the HP Community Forum.

I say "thumbs up" to it, and also to www.RestoreDisks.com

I have not personally used either site, but many contributors on this forum have recommended both sites.

Hi,

I know it is a good site which has been around many years but to be able to say it is a safe site it must use https, not just hppt.

Regards.

> it must use https, not just http.

It's my understanding that both sites generally use http, and then will use https only when it needs to be "secure", such as a purchase of an item.

When you are just "clicking" through a web-site, and reading articles, e.g., www.cbs.com

you don't need to have  a "secure" connection.
