Freeware are free applications available on the Internet for downloading onto your computer. Applications or programs available for a fee are called shareware.
Many sites contain both share and freeware and the rule of caveat emptor applies.
Beware of what you download and look for anything that suggests paying a fee or price for the product. If at any time you see a form asking for your Mastercard or Visa, and you thought it was free, cancel. It's also a good idea to have your computer safeguarded against viruses. Also remember that it is illegal to keep using software after its trial deadline expires and could open up the college to a lawsuit. Some applications are useful in your everyday computing life.
