Is virtual tablet S-pen on PC safe? I'm reasonably assured about the part on google play, but I'm not sure about the part from sunnysoft website

p.s. what apps are there to use my android tablet as a drawing tablet for windows? / a second screen with touchscreen function for windows?

I've tried splashtop wired, but could not get that to connect even though the tablet is detected in device manager.

Yes virtual tablet is an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunnysidesoft.VirtualTablet.lite&hl=en_CA

I have a samsung tablet I would like to connect it to my windows computer and use my tablet as a drawing pad/ second monitor with touch screen function.
 
Thanks, is there a site that you trust to review software like cnet/ pcmag...?

p.s. can you download the software through the windows store or is that something else? I'm mostly concerned because the non android part seems to be downloaded through a third party site

did you try the link i suggested? the wifi drawing app is on the play store.
 
safe? safe from what? hackers? adware? i would think that it is safe. accorfing to the play store it only has permissions to access your wifi, which it will need to be mirrowed to the pc, i do not see anything nefarious about the app.

Safe from malware
In order to use you have to install the corresponding program on the computer which is third party and not directly monitored by google play How do you know if the program is safe?

Even if "approved" by Google for the Play Store they still get dodgy apps getting through. Lots of them! As for Windows, just keep to the usual good practice for installing programs. Good anti-virus, install from known sources etc etc. If you're not happy with the program, don't install it. Simples.
