Computers with their power treatment, graphical user interface and mass storage are creative hubs and informative all-singing and dancing all in the heart of many homes the. The only thing that makes your computer a useful tool for all is the software that uses of technology and it translated by the format that is easy to understand, that we use every day.
More more people are using computers for many more that processing of text and games of today. There is a very diverse range of software available to accommodate most of the tasks and where there is a commercial application you will inevitably find a free alternative. Free software has been around since the early days of computer mass use, but never as accessible as in a connected world.
There are three main types of free software...
Trial-ware, which is free to use for a limited time. After which you can get the paid version. Shareware, which is usually limited in function until you buy the version complete. And free-ware, which is free to use and distribute.
Trial-ware and Shareware are good ways to test the effectiveness of the software packages before purchase and I have on several occasions. One of the pitfalls with these software is that some companies who offer these service or time limited software packages apply very aggressive tactics once you installed. This can vary from constant reminders pop up diversion to their product page when you open your browser. Some have even no easy way to uninstall to intimidate you eventually buy.
Real free-ware, however, is free install and use. It may also be pop - ups in free-ware programs and reminders of other software paid for by the same company.
Some unscrupulous companies announce their software as free-ware that in reality, they restrict the functionality in the hope that once you have installed and used program, eventually you buy it. I tend to run such software, even if it is useful as these tactics indicate the type of business to which I would not trust my personal data.
The other major concern with using limited and software free-ware is the threat of viruses. Rule number one for finding free software is to download from a location with good reputations. I usually recommend website "Major geeks" or "cnet" as reliable download sources. Once you have downloaded software, you must then manually analysis the virus file, horse of Trojan or spyware infections with your security software. Anywhere, you get a file from, it is a must.
There is, of course, a whole list of reasons why you should use Free-ware and some of them are...
Cost... It costs nothing to the value of the money could not be better. Availability... If you need the software and you are in a different location you can download.
Some free-ware is for personal use only, with versions paid for businesses. It is a quite common and accepted practice including antivirus programs. The type of free-ware, which is usually free for any use is a software "Open source". It is a software developed by communities that contribute to the programming of the software.
