The platform was founded in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in June 1997. The company is headquartered in Barcelona and led by CEO Fiona Garvey.
In the past, Softonic was accused of questionable business practices and spreading malware, including through its "Softonic Downloader". Softonic has stated that it applies a "multi-layer security system" to all files in its catalog, scanning each one with multiple antivirus engines prior to publication.
