There are no real advantages, only perceived ones! \n\nThere isn't enough space to list all of the disadvantages.\n\nIf some one was to do an honest cost/benefit analysis, very few would own one.

http://www.cnet.com/\n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/\n\nhttp://www.tucows.com/\n\nThere are many more software specific sites but these three are probably the most widely used. And don't forget to visit your operating system's website (Microsoft, Linux, etc) because they have a lot of free software as well.\n\nplrr

AVG This is free to home users, needs a licence if used commercially.\n\nreally good backup \nbrilliant anti-virus.\nNorton slows up most comps because it is too efficient and stops good scripts which stops the installation of some legitimate programs

There aren't any free ones, unless you go as low level as the programming languages, then most of the (worthy) language compilers are free.

Sure...make software free.\n\nAnd whatever you do for a living, lets make that free, too, so you don't get paid for your work.

Commercial software is normally something you have to buy to use.\n\nShareware is software you can use and share for free, but normally has a restriction on it. Like a 30 trial or a splash screen.\n\nOpen source software is free to take and share. It allows the user to see the original code used to write the program.\n\nFreeware is completly free and free to share. It will not allow the user to see the code.\n\nAs for somine, I'm not sure if there is such a thing.\n\nHope this helps

Do you want another opinion?\nSay *no* to piracy!\nFirst because it is not correct to do so and second because it is easy to find you with new type software.\nWhy do you want to take the risk?\n\nKaterina

it is never a good idea to download pirated software a lot of companys offer learning additions of thier software free of charge l would go that rout then purchase the software when you have a grasp of how to use it.

I have been using the free version for over a year and it seems to be more than adequate. If you want to help support the people who generously have made this great program free then buy it. I don't think the paid program has that much other features, though.

Some are really free for personal use. The company makes profit by providing paid support to large companies nd hence can afford to give the product free to single users eg.Red Hat Linux. \nSome free software is made by companies which have other sources of income. eg. Microsoft gives away IE,Windows defender,Viewers free of cost\nOthers are truly free and are developed by individual programmers who believe in free software. \nOthers are called free but are supported by ads. \nSome other "free" software comes loaded with spyware/adware etc.
