As its name implies, the term “freeware” refers to software products that can be procured and fully used without restrictions at no cost whatsoever. It is important to emphasise that although the software is freely available, showing your support to the programmer if you happen to use his work frequently is a nice (and encouraging) touch.

Bear that in mind if you decide to resort to one of the many sites that collect freeware applications. One such site can be reached at Freewr.com. In this case, the site is subdivided into different categories. These include applications that cater for businesses & office purposes such as calculators and convertors, along with tools for graphic & imaging like 3D modelling utilities and image processing programs. On the other hand, dictionaries can be found under the “Home & Education” heading along with tools for language learning. A wide range of Internet applications such as accelerators and download managers can be found online as well, whereas security utilities like encryption tools and Ad blockers are equally featured. A search tool is included for browsing convenience, and the latest additions to the database are highlighted on the main page.
