The program offers to help you make a screenshot and then share it online via its servers. It should be all nice an easy, except for the fact that the direct download link does not work on the website. Although the page looks sophisticated and reliable, we doubt whether Screentool is a legitimate program because its creators TRIORIS LLC do not provide users with direct download links.
