Free Softwares on the web - is it for real?

There are many FREE software like anti-virus, anti-spy, etc.

If it's FREE, will people still spend money to buy?

I'm puzzled !

What's your opinion?

Lots of freeware out there.

Some not worth the price.

But the Zonealarm firewall that free is the same as the one they box and sell, accept the onealarm pro has more additional features.

AVG was free...but next year theyll start charging.

The big thing about freeware, is that there hope is to either gain your interest with a basic service that has additions to it, or just give a good product like AVG until they have enough followers that believe in their product having used it, enough to want to buy it eventually.

Its all long term business. Either the programmers are trying to make a nme for themselves, or the company will hope to sell off their program eventually

but yes, to answer your question some freeware is very good.
