Everyone should have noticed the current sticky list of good n free software is too messy for anyone to browse through and look for the software that they need, also there are different users posting the same software over again. Hence, I've decided to revamp the thread and make it better.
Hopefully, the moderator will put up my thread as sticky and removed the old one. Also, seeing that the TS of the previous thread last activity was 3 years ago, I decided not to send him a message to inform him (he won't login and see anyway).
As suggested by wikipedia, Freeware is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee (voluntary fee). Therefore, I urge fellow hardwarezoners to follow this few simple rules before posting and recommending others of freeware.
I would also like to set a format for people to follow when they introduce software to others. This would help people to understand the nature of the software before downloading and use it .
The format would be:
Product Name: Name of the software
Website: Main page of the software website *Note: Do not link it to the downloading page.
Image Preview: Try to get a image (product image or screenshot should do) off from the software site and post it over here.
Product Description/Features: Copy the selling points of the software over at the website and post it over here to let others have a better idea of what the software does.
Product Review: Do provide a short writeup of the product that you're introducing to others if you had it previously or still using the product at the moment.
An example will be given below. It is perfectly fine to leave out certain part such as product review or image if you couldn't find any. But please make an effort to do so, it helps!
Please only suggest software that are known to be free from spyware or any other form of malware.
Example 1:
Product Name: Mozilla Firefox
Website: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
Product Description/Features:

- The software must be free-of-charge.
- The software must not contain any form of malware.
