I can’t determine whether that site/software is safe or malicious from the marketing text and a single link alone, and it wouldn’t be responsible to guess.

If you’re considering installing “MiniTool Screen Recorder” (or any screen recorder), these are the safest, practical checks to do first:

Safer verification steps
  • Download only from the vendor’s official domain (avoid “download portals,” mirrors, or repacks).
  • Before running it, upload the installer to VirusTotal and review results (not just the score—look for a pattern of detections vs. a couple of generic/heuristic hits).
  • Check the file’s digital signature (Properties -> Digital Signatures). A valid signature that matches the vendor is a good sign; no signature isn’t automatically bad, but it increases risk.
  • During installation, use “Custom/Advanced” options and decline any bundled offers (some legitimate tools are bundled with adware/PUP-style installers).
  • If possible, test first in a VM/Windows Sandbox to see what it installs/changes (startup entries, scheduled tasks, browser changes, unexpected network traffic).

Low-risk alternatives (widely used)
  • OBS Studio (free, open-source)
  • Windows built-in Xbox Game Bar (basic screen recording)
