Oh! Goodness it all sounds frightening, maybe I'll hold off downloading freebies, although I already went through the entire freebie section awhile ago (but after the change) when I got my new system and downloaded a huge amount both stuff I had before and also some new stuffs.  I only got a few warnings and I generally kinda trust to faith.  I've never (too my knowlege) downloaded a freebie yet that ended up screwing up my computer.  I reckon most people honestly want to share their stuffs (and I thank them for it).  Theres some pop-ups and stuff blocked from bad sites, and some of the older links are dead or down for service, but I leave them alone because the person generally either gets around to fixing them, or the site itself is no more and I figure for free stuff you take what's given while it's there and if you miss it, you miss it.

Heck I've got more stuff in my runtime then I know what to do with, and very little is commercial (I'm poor ... leave me alone...).  Ironicly most of my favorites are stuff that's comparitivly older, but I think rather timeless.  My thanks to all the great folks out their who continue to share and make wonderfull freebies for everyone to enjoy. ^^
