Re: Freeware instead of warez?

Actually Membership is NOT Free. I don't think most freeware authors like for anyone to charge for access to their files and it may be against certain programs EULA that no charge can be made to distribute their freeware.

But I don't know for sure since you would have to read each EULA for each program and you would have to pay up $$ first to gain access to the files.

I'm not sure if anybody mentioned these free apps,but
There's Avast 4 AntiVirus,a very good free antivirus project that's getting better...and yes it's free

Look & Stop Firewall Lite 1.04: Provides a good amount of security...and yes it's "Lite"

and Spybot S&D r0xs as far as spyware busters go

Hey guys...

Is there a free alternative to the SystemWorks/TuneUP Utilities suites?? I think I will dump SW as I am preparing to dump all norton products to streamline my systems. (They fly after install but bog down once I get SW's installed. )

I'll take seperate apps if I have to (I can always create an installer for them if need be) but would prefer if there is a suite available.

Thanks!

Doctor Olds: "Wrong. Sorry, but that is going to make your install illegal after 30 days per their EULA that you did agree to be bound to when installing. You are bypassing/tricking the installer to get around the 30 Day trial terms. Doesn't matter how you do it. The same would be true since it is the end result that matters, making it the same as running a crack or manually altering the registry to change the install date."

Some people will always try to get something for nothing even when it isn't free for as long as they can.

Let's just call time-limited use EULA's a test of moral fiber. Some pass the test, some fail.

In many cases, time-limited software leaves a small trace of itself on a system that is just darned hard to find, and flat won't permit that second "extended trial" installation. Others will allow you to continue to use it so long as you care to put up with the nag screens and any operational limitations you are willing to put up with.

For example, Goldwave - an excellent audio file editor, won't time out, but does limit the number of operations you can perform during a single session of using it. The limitation is so high that most people won't hit it - I never did while using the trial version. But I found the program so useful that rather than just use the trial copy forever, I bought the license. Same for WinZip (been licensed since v6.3, and I think they're up to 9.x now and no charge for updating) ... and SecondCopy 2000, and several others I could name. Shoot, I'm such a sucker that I often chip in for 'donate-ware' if it's a good application, such as some of the stuff put out by JavaCool.
