In general, downloading software from the Internet can be dangerous, as the software may come with virus, etc.
Download a trial version from a well-know company is probably fine. Please make sure that the source of your download is indeed Adobe, not a phishing website.
However, there is a side effect of installing trial software. For installation of any software, there will be some marks in your Windows registry (even after you uninstall the software later). When you registry become larger and larger, your computer will become slower. To avoid this, there are a couple of solutions. You can create a system restore point before you install it so that you can restore the original system state. Or, you can install some software to clean up you registry.

When you're done with the trial of PhotoShop and hungry for powerful image editing software, http://www.gimp.org is a great program and it's, get this...FREE! PhotoShop plug-ins generally work with it, also, and there are lots of free plug-ins out on the internet. Google "gimp plugins." My one tip on using The Gimp...right-click on stuff.
That trial is fine to download and install but generally are only good for a very short time, not even long enough to learn all the facets of the program.

It's a great of trying before you buy; many pc mags like PCAdvisor or Computerbuyer not only offer trials but free full versions of software from leading manufacturers as a way of enticing you to upgrade to the latest version.

It is completely safe but if you are still worried you can create a system restore point before you install it so if you think something went wrong you can undo the change hope it helps
Choose me for best answer if it helps

yes its absolutely fine if they are offering the same..provided it wud be helpful to you if you register yourself in it and buy the whole version..
trial versions are provided usually for the user to understand the concept of the software, its usefulness etc.

No its fine, as long as you get it directy from Adobe's website. Make sure you scan it first though.

It's okay if it is from their site, don't download it from a site other than their official site.
