BleepingComputer.com: Free Down Loads

hello everybody i am very supprised at the huge number of free down loads you can get on the net
things like the skype program i have found this program easy to use .and can now with the aid of a
head set and microphone talk to people all over the world. all it cost me was the price of the head
set downloads .com is one of the first places i look for a program the list is huge fire fox extenions
and up grades for programs i have already are all on the net. we all have own favourites.
so if there is a program you need google the program name and down load from a free site.

When it comes to free software, you've got to be careful about what sites you download from.
There are a few reputable sites, that check their downloads for malware.
There are even more sites, that don't.
If at all possible, it's best to download software from the creators website.
There's less of a chance, that malicious software will be bundled in, with the program.
Even then, be sure to scan all downloads with your Antivirus.
This goes for, ANYTHING, you download off of the internet.

A lot of people get infected by just downloading, and installing, everything they find for free, on the internet.
We have several freeware programs listed in our Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps topic.
Everything listed in there, has been tested by our members, and is malware free.

I love the free software and for just about every Paid Software out there,an excellent free alternative is available.
As 'tg1911'said, excellent free and safe programs are available right here on BC.I find I seldom have to look elsewhere.
Got my fingers burnt at first, downloading freeware from anywhere without taking care.
And 'kasploticus' I too have Skype and indulged in a Web Cam,and found Talking 1 on 1 and the webcam brings your Cyber friends so much closer, and it's fun.IMHO.
Any closer and I would be drinking their coffee.

thank you tq 1911 yes care needs to be taken when down loading off the net i only use sites i trust
sorry i missed pointing out the fact in my post i did not list the sites as i did not want to advertise thanks again
