Downloads of free software, free ringtones, free games, free stuff... And so will the list - sites promising to provide "free" products or even probably authentic looking "trial versions". But before that you opt for one of them, be informed that the chances are that you are led into a trap of some malicious site you lure looking for their apparent "free" product, but that would be actually infect a malicious piece of program or virus in your system, or leave you ex æquo with some unhealthy product/service of their own.
I always believed - nothing in this world comes free of charge. Its simple logic of mutual concessions. Just put a simple question to yourself, why the other person gives me something free? He is not to earn a living for himself? There too abundant resources to distribute among complete strangers? Logic defies the notion of "free stuff".
A survey conducted by McAfee has recently shows that the chances of your infected by a malicious site increased by 300%, if you type the word "free" in your search strings. Is not only an incredible detail!
And why but simply Web sites or the virus we are talking about here. The capture can be hidden in various other forms. I cite here an experience of mine when I was search for a suitable Hosting Service - for my Web site about two years back.
I had been using a provider specific years with satisfaction full, but in this case, I came across a site quick2host. Discover their logo that says "best price." "Fantastic support". Seems that they chose a statement which was to be a 360-degree turn from their reality! They presented a seemingly winning offer that promised a free domain if you choose to host your site with them. Their hosting plans are a good 10% cheaper than competing sites. I thought it worth a trial. And whoa! I had to learn the hard way! As I started using their services, I found that their accommodation had shockingly high to low time leave my site inaccessible for long periods fairly regularly! Even when the site was, it inexplicably took forever to load the lighter pages. One day, I find my all deleted site name of a virus on their server attack. No backup provided. At the end of the year, my domain and hosting has been renewed automatically without consent by auto recharge my PayPal account.
And it is not the end. One morning, I wake up to find my site not showing upward and instead he read - "domain suspended". On further research, I found this saying that I had exceeded my limit for database storage when I was using only 2 space. On contacting their support, no there was no response. I gave up and decided it was time for a transfer of domain to my old time providers: () and it would be ridiculous to expect that it would be a smooth ride in and of itself. When I asked my EPP Code (the code required to transfer your domain from one Registrar to another), they asked me to pay Rs. 500 - a service which is my right and any chargeable way. When I objected, they said that since my area was "free" it has restrictions on it: wink of eye: when I asked them why they did had not mentioned this when their "free" advertising area, they had no response.
Another example can be taken on the free antivirus sites that exist today. If you have used the free service Avast, you know probably what I'm talking about: wink: you get a comparison table very detailed on the site of Avast showing the differences between free and paid software versions. In no place did he mentioned that free software would work for only 30 days. In fact, their website read "avast!" Free antivirus is free only for personal use and non-commercial "-making it sound even more authentic." Its only after I downloaded a 60 MB file, installed and by chance opened its product info that I found it saying "Protection valid for 30 days."
Well, we learn from its mistakes. Moral of the story is - nothing comes for free! Will not a cheap option - it would inevitably be that some cheat that you would be unable to detect early, but you would have to pay for in your subsequent time with it. Quality comes with a price tag! And its always best to choose instead of trying to save a little and this suffering after. I would say the only end that same Free-dom comes at a price.
